The Verdict Is In: INOGENI and Cloud Room AV Partner to Revolutionize Courtroom Technology with the One Touch Solution
The administration of justice relies on clarity, precision, and efficiency. Yet, many courtrooms today struggle with audio-visual (AV) technology that is anything but clear, precise, or efficient. Aging infrastructure, disparate systems for evidence presentation and remote conferencing, and complex control panels often hinder proceedings, forcing judges and legal staff to troubleshoot technology rather than focus on the law.
As the legal sector increasingly adopts hybrid models—blending in-person testimony with remote appearances and digital evidence—the need for seamless, reliable, and intuitive technology is mission-critical.
Recognizing this challenge, INOGENI, a leader in professional AV connectivity and video mixing devices, has partnered with Cloud Room AV (CRAV), a specialist in modern judicial AV integration. Together, they are actively attending industry events and transforming the courtroom experience with the innovative One Touch solution.
The Complexity Crisis in Courtroom AV Setups
For decades, courtroom AV has often evolved into what industry insiders call a “kludge”—an ill-assorted collection of analog and digital components patched together over time. Traditional systems rely heavily on proprietary hardware centralized in large equipment racks. This approach is expensive, difficult to maintain, and often requires specialized technicians for operation.
In a hybrid proceeding, a judge must effortlessly manage multiple microphones, switch between various camera feeds (the bench, the witness stand, the podium), integrate remote participants via platforms like Zoom or Teams, and display evidence from attorney laptops or document cameras. When the technology is cumbersome, the judicial process suffers delays, and the equity between in-person and remote participants is compromised.
The One Touch Revolution
The partnership between INOGENI and Cloud Room AV directly addresses this complexity by redefining the AV infrastructure. The One Touch solution moves away from the cumbersome “rack full of equipment” model toward a streamlined, software-driven approach.
Cloud Room AV delivers a turnkey AV platform that utilizes powerful middleware to run the AV system on a standard Windows environment. This approach significantly reduces the total cost of ownership and drastically simplifies the user experience.
As the name implies, the One Touch solution allows court personnel to manage the entire AV ecosystem—including automation, secure video arraignment, and evidence presentation—with a single, intuitive touchscreen interface.
The Power Behind the Simplicity
The success of the One Touch solution lies in the synergy between intuitive software and robust, reliable hardware.
Cloud Room AV: The Intuitive Interface
Cloud Room AV provides the integration expertise and the innovative software layer that makes complex actions simple. By understanding the specific workflows and security requirements of the judiciary, they deliver a customized control experience that adapts to the courtroom’s needs, ensuring that technology serves the process rather than dictating it.
INOGENI: The Connectivity Backbone
The simplicity of the One Touch interface relies on intelligent hardware to manage the physical connections. INOGENI provides this essential backbone.
