more than 1.3 million residents in Orange
and Osceola Counties,
across an area of over
2,000 square miles. On
average, the court receives over 590,000 new
cases each year, making

it one of the largest judicial courts in the state ofFlorida. When the Court
set out to find a newsolution for the presentation of evidence, they
had three key objectives in mind. Firstly, toovercome their existing
problem of connectivity
incompatibility(HDMI,VGA, DisplayPort, etc.),

which often led to delays in the courtroom.
Secondly to find a suitable solution that would
be very easy to train theattorneys how to use, sothat they would quickly
become self-supportive.
Thirdly the system had
to be extremely reliable, and must be able towithstand the rigours ofheavy courtroom usage by large numbers ofdifferent users. Paul Pridemore, Senior Audio
Visual Engineer at the
Judicial Court, confirmed that they selected
Cynap for their courtrooms and associatedconference rooms because it could meet these three requirements,

ENplus it offered many additional useful featuresand functionalities thatthey never envisioned
would be available fromsuch a small device.
Around 30 courtrooms
are currently equippedwith Cynap systems, together with WolfVision
Visualizers,
VZ-8light4
which provide a ‘best ofboth worlds’ imaging solution, enabling evidence

whether in digital or analog format to be easily
presented on-screen tocourt participants. Additional equipment includes NEC Ultra Short
Throw projectors, Atlona
HDMI Baluns, Dell 22”
Touchscreen monitors,
and Biamp Tesira Mixers
to handle audio requirements. Paul Pridemorecommented “It handled
our goals and excee-

ded our expectations.
We have a solution thatis cost-effective, easy to
use and train, one wireless connection that youdon‘t have to downloada client or app for, andthat has become selfsupportive - in the factthat now attorneys justconnect to the device
and go (we no longer
have service calls every
10 min). It is a securesystem and I can allow
attorneys to connect tothe device, without giving them access to mynetwork”.

and it’s also possible toannotate over any displayed content if required by the judge.

During the selection process, Cynap was compared to several competitor systems, whichwere found to require
several separate appliances in order to accomplish the same tasks as

the multi-functional allin-one Cynap system.
Users particularly notedthat the Cynap system
was much easier to use
as compared to othercompetitor
products,
and although there arealready 30 units installed, there are additional quantities of both
Cynap and VZ-8light 4
Visualizers already planned for the future.

With 2x HDMI Out ports, content can be displayed both on the main display screen and previewed on the judge‘s monitor.
