The District Court has acquired various audio/visual and automated evidence presentation equipment which is available to the Bar at no cost. Each courthouse in the District is equipped with these devices, which are fairly simple to operate. If support is needed, however, the courtroom deputy will provide assistance.
We encourage the Bar to take advantage of this equipment and we hope its availability eases the presentation of demonstrative evidence.
Arrangements to use one or more of the below items must first be made with the respective courtroom deputy/case manager. All telecommunications must be approved by the court in advance of any testing or use.
Questions about this equipment should be directed to (718) 613-2290 only after making arrangements with the courtroom deputy/case manager. Please ask for a Courtroom Technology Specialist.

| Document Camera (ELMO) available only in District Judge Courtrooms |
Document cameras, also known as visual presenters, digital overheads, or docucams, are real-time image capture devices for displaying an object to a large audience. Like an opaque projector, a document camera is able to magnify and project the images of actual, three-dimensional objects, as well as transparencies. They are, in essence, high resolution web cams, mounted on arms so as to facilitate their placement over a page. |
