installed on the DCR computer in the courtroom. Please allow yourself plenty of time - at
least one hour to install and configure settings on this software. Once software is installed
and configured, your process for downloading recording files and burning disc copies will
be seamless and fast.
The software allows the DPM recording files to be downloaded onto the software program
and computer. Using Roxio, the recording files may be burned onto the CD-R disc in wave
format (.WAV). Two disc copies should then be created - one for transcription and one for
the clerk of court or file location that has been approved by the AOC. Windows Media
Player must be used to listen to the recording and for transcription.
Arrangements should be made with the judge, judge's secretary, or clerk to keep
recorder/software disc in a secure but immediate location. The recorder should be
checked periodically (once a month) to make sure recorder is fully charged and to ensure
settings have not changed on the recorder. A test may be performed by creating a
recording file. It must be verified that the file will automatically download onto the DCR
computer. The CD may then be burned using Roxio. Go to a different computer that does
not have the Philips software installed on it and verify that the recording may be heard. If
you can hear the recording, this verifies that all settings are appropriately set and no one
has changed them. This test process will also ensure that you become familiar and
comfortable with using the recorder, downloading files, and burning CDs.
Transcription will be performed using Windows Media Player on your home computer.
There will not be any transcription software and/or foot pedal for transcription for this
product. Remember that using the backup DPM recorder should only happen on rare
occasions and not be the norm.
The same procedures that are used for the DCR recordings should also be used when
deleting DPM recording files from the hard drive from the DCR computer. The last work
days in March, June, September, and December of every year, or as close to that date as
possible, all DPM and DCR proceedings that have been saved to a CD-R disc and
previously filed with the clerk of court or in an AOC-approved location shall be deleted from
the DCR computer hard drive. This should be done only after it has been verified that the
recordings of the proceedings have been saved successfully.
The Philips Digital Pocket Memo (DPM) recorder will be
used as a backup when the Digital Court Recording (DCR)
equipment fails to operate properly and is unable to record
court proceedings. This DPM recorder must be fully charged
and be ready for use in case of difficulties.
