Printing: Includes small prints 8-1/2 x 11 inches to large
format poster size and overlay transparency mounted on foam
board. Small transparencies can be mounted into a frame for
viewing through an overhead projector.
Magnetic boards: The boards and its components are created
to scale. Either custom graphics or enlarged photographs are
used for the background and are complimented with matched
movable elements.
Videotape, VHS format: This format has been around
for a long time and is easily played back on standard home
video recorders. Most courtrooms have both the monitor and
recorder to play your tape without the necessity to rent.
Videotape, SVHS format: Super VHS format affords a
higher level of picture quality, but requires special equipment
to view it. SVHS must be played back using both a SVHS recorder
and monitor. This equipment is not supplied by the courts
and must be rented. The advantage to using this format is
picture quality and the ability to pause the animation without
distortion. The disadvantage in using videotape in general
is the problem of finding specific segments for replaying
using the rewinding and fast forwarding feature of the recorder.
CD-ROM / DVD: Although both mediums look similar,
there are distinctive differences. Both have the capability
to deliver a higher quality of picture than videotape. Both
mediums can be menu driven which affords the presenter with
a greater ability to search and replay animated segments but
the CD-ROM requires the use of a computer and monitor. The
computer mouse is used for menu selection and may require
the use of another person to operate the computer to alleviate
the presenter of this chore. Both mediums are capable of holding
large amounts of information. The DVD disc can hold four times
that of the CD-ROM, ample space to hold any accident reconstruction
case that we have ever produced. The DVD medium is a flawless
presentation tool allowing the presenter the freedom to operate
it using a remote control device and allows indefinite frame
pausing. DVD playback requires a DVD player and standard television
monitor.
