Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of DOAR's Digital Evidence Presentation
™
System
(DEPS). You will find that the display of video and digital information has
never been so compelling and easy to use.
With the DEPS Integrated Remote Control system you can instantly select the
desired input sources and which monitors will display your evidence, in addition to
controlling the integrated components. Annotating exhibits is easy using DOAR's
Illustrator. Emphasizing evidence areas or having witnesses demonstrate situations
right before the jurors' eyes is an invaluable asset. In conjunction, the Visual Image
Printer allows you to create instant color photos from DOAR's Communicator,
computer, or any video source. The Visual Image Printer will instantly preserve your
evidence. You can even capture and annotate a particular frame from video and print
it out as a new exhibit. These integrated features allows the user to maintain the jury's
interest throughout the trial, thus the focus of the jury's attention is placed on the key
facts contained in the documents, photos, graphics or depositions.
Evidence and courtroom presentation is maturing into a powerful new capability for
judges, attorneys and court administrators. DOAR's Digital Evidence Presentation
System represents a technological philosophy and implementation methodology that
will grow with the judicial system. DEPS relies on the integration of video and digital
display technology with options to combine real time reporting, video conferencing,
and computer-based evidence system. DOAR's Communicator document camera and
presentation enhancement equipment completes this coherent presentation facility.
DEPS is housed in a handsome, portable cabinet that is controlled by a state-of-the-
art (and easy to use) remote control system. Installing DEPS takes minutes. The
system comes with training, on-call support and complete service. This total solution
is being used throughout U.S. Attorney Offices, Federal and State Courts.
