Streaming Video System Helps Expedite Justice Across Kentucky
The Kentucky Court System challenges the flexibility and power of the DiscoverVideo enterprise video content management ecosystem to stream and record in the name of justice.
December 28, 2020, Wallingford CT — DiscoverVideo showcases the application of its streaming enterprise content management system DEVOS to help the KAOC (Kentucky Administration Office of the Courts) to integrate live streaming, media management, and video-on-demand into the judicial process.
The Kentucky AOC oversees all the courts – Supreme, Appeals, Circuit, Family and District – in 120 counties. These courts are busy places, with
sometimes up to 50 cases in a day.
Recording all audio and video of each of 463 courtrooms, every day, makes the KAOC judicial system the largest video production company in Kentucky tristate area (Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky).
The court system is currently transitioning from DVDs to e-court, with recordings available on-demand, through the DiscoverVideo DEVOS platform, expediting the appellate case process.
TV monitors have been turned into digital signage and private IPTV with DiscoverVideo SignSticks®. They show the court docket in real time and custom signage with instructions for self-representation.
QR codes link to video instructions for self-representation. QR codes help give also access to upload digital evidence, and allow anyone to view proceedings on-demand from any device or location.
