Yet, most courtrooms are still limited to presenting their digital video files on low-resolution flat-screen monitors, or worse, on projection systems that significantly alter the visual evidence. Litigators who rely on projection systems to display their video images are very likely depriving the court\u2019s trier of fact of the full value and meaning of their evidence. Likewise, deploying undersized flat-screen monitors removes image detail and can often obfuscate the most critical aspects of evidence in a case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[157],"tags":[1010,261,1009],"class_list":["post-47987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tech-talk","tag-courtroom","tag-evidence","tag-video"],"acf":{"post_author":"Grant Fredericks, Owner, Forensic Video Solutions","main_category":"Tech Talk","legacy_article_id":"","legacy_issue_id":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tech Talk: Video Evidence in the Courtroom - Technology Challenges and Standards - Police Chief Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Most courts throughout North America have failed to keep up with visual evidence presentation technologies, even though the source image quality continues to march forward.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.policechiefmagazine.org\/tech-talk-video-evidence-courtroom\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tech Talk: Video Evidence in the Courtroom - Technology Challenges and Standards\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Most courts throughout North America have failed to keep up with visual evidence presentation technologies, even though the source image quality continues to march forward.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.policechiefmagazine.org\/tech-talk-video-evidence-courtroom\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Police Chief Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheIACP\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-02-01T06:00:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-09-26T12:29:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.policechiefmagazine.org\/tech-talk-video-evidence-courtroom\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Dani Gudakunst\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@TheIACP\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@TheIACP\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Dani Gudakunst\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"7 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.policechiefmagazine.org\/tech-talk-video-evidence-courtroom\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.policechiefmagazine.org\/tech-talk-video-evidence-courtroom\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Dani Gudakunst\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.policechiefmagazine.org\/#\/schema\/person\/84ca7fd7f208094a13c5c94b803849b5\"},\"headline\":\"Tech Talk: Video Evidence in the Courtroom &#8211;
