Stary Technologies' competitive advantage with AJA U-TAP

Stary Technologies managed reliably with the help of AJA U-TAP high definition audiovisual content in judicial venues.

Video is one of the most powerful narrative tools for lawyers in today's civil litigation., either to transport jurors to the scene or to question witness testimony. Helps attorneys craft strong, evidence-backed narratives that persuade jurors, and maintains a high demand for audiovisual specialists such as Stary Technologies. Reliable high-definition capture of video presented on HDMI monitors to a laptop is essential to the process.

Before jury selection, el director de Stary Technologies, Franz Stary Collaborates with legal teams to prepare images, videos, x-rays and other digital tests, which he then presents during the trial. Depending on the case, can verify the origin of a video, restore damaged media or blur children's faces to ensure their privacy. It has also improved security and cell phone camera footage to uncover evidence such as a hit-and-run license plate or persons of interest..

Stary highlights that “Every civil case is different., so our work is not always predictable, but the video is always present. Jurors don't just want to hear a lawyer talk about the facts, but they want to see video evidence and supporting documents”.

At the beginning of each case, attorneys typically perform e-discovery, collecting relevant videos or documents as evidence, and then consult with experts who may be called to testify. Stary acts as an intermediary between experts and lawyers, ensuring legal teams can present visual evidence to the jury.

Once all the materials are prepared, attorneys select a jury and Stary visits the courtroom to determine audiovisual needs. With the permission of the judge, connects an HDMI splitter to the witness stand monitor and carries the signal from the splitter to a U-TAP and your laptop. This allows you to capture the main evidence presented and admitted by the judge with the software Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). During the process, the bailiff regulates who can present on this monitor and others.

“U-TAP has been a big change for us, since it has helped us win important cases, like a verdict 48 million dollars in Van Nuys and another 34,1 million in San Bernardino. Having a capture device like U-TAP in the courtroom is a smart move, because it just works, and those recordings may prove useful as the case progresses”, comments Dude.

U-TAP is especially valuable when the opposing party does not share evidence before presenting it to the jury. In these cases, Stary uses U-TAP to capture everything that is submitted and immediately sends it for review by paralegals and attorneys. This allows the Stary team to resubmit documents previously shared by the opposing party and clear up any misrepresentations..

“I have come to rely on AJA's U-TAP in the courtroom. AJA products are well made and exceed expectations”, states. “With U-TAP in my toolkit, I don't have to worry about the other party trying to harm my client., because we have everything well documented”.

Improvement for the future

With the rapid advancement of modern audiovisual technology and its increasing accessibility, Stary believes that the role of video will only grow in the courts. Taking this into account, has focused on improving its knowledge of artificial intelligence and video forensics.

“Before it was difficult to record videos, but nowadays everyone carries a high quality camera in their pocket, and artificial intelligence and forensic fingerprints as evidence will be a game changer. Regarding the resolution, the AV of the courts will remain HD for quite some time and, for me, There is no better way to capture high-quality video evidence than with U-TAP”, concludes Stary.
