Legal Videography
Using the latest technology, we provide video professionals to monitor and record your proceedings. Our services allow you to capture quality video for any event, synchronized with a transcript.
Video Depositions
Alderson’s videographers are the clear choice to preserve visual testimony. Our clients call upon our video experts to record and retain testimony of potentially unavailable, uncooperative, and/or key witnesses. Our clients recognize that the nuances of inflection, pauses in testimony and facial expressions need to be documented in a way that cannot be done with traditional transcripts. Thus our video experts are trained to capture an unbiased video record of your proceeding.
Tight integration between our court reporters and videographers enables us to guarantee that our digital video recordings will be synchronized to the transcript which makes creating video clips effortless.
At Alderson, we can provide a truly customized video format specific to your exact needs, from traditional MPEG-1 format to High Definition DVD format.
Videoconferencing
Alderson can arrange to connect two or more conference rooms for two-way communication as if you are in the room. Attending a proceeding via videoconference enables streaming video from the deposition location via the Internet to your desktop or laptop.
Given the fast pace of business today, including litigation, many clients utilize our videoconferencing services for depositions. Alderson offers state-of-the-art videoconferencing capabilities to almost any location in the world. Whether you choose to use our videoconferencing services for depositions or other important events, we will provide you with the convenience of face-to-face communication, while eliminating the cost and hassle associated with travel.
Synchronized Video
Alderson videotaped depositions are digitized in MPEG-1 format and synchronized to the transcript.
Case-winning Technology
Not all videosychronization is the same. High quality synchronization reduces the chances of the wrong video clip being played and therefore an embarrassment in front of the court. This is why each synchronized video passes through a minimum of four quality control phases while it is being synchronized to the transcript. Each of these phases includes their own quality control steps. Given the need to preserve critical testimony for trial, many clients have relied on Alderson’s state-of-the-art synchronized video to deliver exactly what was needed when it was needed.
Not Limited to Court Reporting
Both our traditional deposition clients and our specialized training clients can utilize the most appropriate digital video format for their needs, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or traditional DVD. Clients that wish to get the most out of their specialized training have hired our digital videographers to record mock depositions, jury selection, speeches, presentations and many other events where an “after-the-fact” review was to be done.
Streaming Video
Alderson can live stream video via the Internet at the deposition location to your desktop or laptop computer. This technology can save on travel costs and increase the amount of participation a firm can have at a deposition. Attorneys and experts can participate in depositions without leaving their office.
