Easy-to-use, AVoIP evidence presentation, web conferencing, and distribution solution for courtrooms
Judges stay in control of evidence presentation at all times
Cost-effective technology – no racks full of equipment or room control system needed
Cynap as centrepiece AV appliance, runs vSolution MATRIX connected to Cynap Pure Receivers and WolfVision Visualizer providing versatile end-to-end, all-in-one multi-source, digital and analogue evidence presentation system
Hybrid courtrooms remain popular because they bring greater efficiencies
Hybrid workflows save time, make scheduling easier, and help to reduce backlogs.
Preserving the integrity of the court process
Using ‘Preview’, ‘Publish’, and ‘Stop Sharing’ options, the judge, or clerk of the court uses simple drag and drop movements to push on-screen content for the judge to preview, or for jury, plaintiff, or defense attorneys to view.
Judges decide if evidence is admissible, and ‘Protected Mode’ ensures that attorneys cannot send on-screen content directly to a jury for viewing.
Electronic evidence is distributed using either wireless presentation, or via a wired HDMI connection. Physical materials are shown via the document camera.
Presented evidence can also be distributed outside of the physical courtroom during virtual court sessions.
Presenting evidence from any source
Wireless connectivity using any laptop, smartphone, or tablet
Support for AirPlay, Miracast, and Chromecast means no apps or dongles are needed
Live evidence is placed on the document camera
Wired HDMI In available for judges, and attorneys who wish to use a cable
Attorneys can also bring evidence on a USB stick and submit it to the judge
Touchscreen annotation is available at the witness stand.
Content is moderated and controlled using a simple drag-and-drop interface.
Supporting Virtual Courts
Web conferencing via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or WebRTC-based services.
WolfVision’s vSolution App simplifies the web conferencing workflow making it quick and easy for the clerk of the court or judge to control.
Simply adding a Cynap Pure Pro wireless presentation and collaboration system to external locations such as a jail, extends the physical courtroom. For example, greater efficiency is achieved when prisoners can attend arraignments remotely via web conference.
Maximum Security in the courtroom
The system is always used in ‘Protected Mode’ to prevent unwanted or mis-timed display of evidence materials
Wireless signal strength can be adjusted to create only a small area of connectivity around the attorney tables. This prevents unauthorized attempts to disrupt court proceedings.
Separate networks for court personnel and external visitors maintains security
All wireless content is 100% encrypted
On completion of the court session, no information is stored on a any WolfVision system.
Installation advantages
Cost-effective – no more racks full of equipment needed
Quick and easy installation
Ease of use keeps training requirements to a minimum
Customisable peripheral controls take care of the tasks that would normally require a room control system. Reduces cost, reduces number of boxes.
Less boxes means fewer potential points of failure
Easy integration with other infrastructure such as IP cameras, audio, & recording equipment.
Eliminate compatibility issues between devices. All core functionality is performed using WolfVision systems
Standard design already widely used. Simply adjust the number of Cynap Pure Receivers needed, depending on how many extra screens are required in the room.

What is a document camera / Visualizer?
A document camera (or Visualizer / Visualiser as they are also known) is a very flexible presentation tool. It consists of a camera combined with a light system, positioned over a reflection-free working surface.
Physical materials such as books, photographs, and other 3D objects can be placed simply onto the working surface. Content is picked up, and a high-resolution output signal provided to projectors or monitors for on-screen display.
When a Visualizer is connected to a computer using a web conferencing service, images and video are easily shown to both in-room, and remote classroom or meeting participants.
Document cameras are popular in education, business and judicial environments. They provide excellent imaging possibilities for working and learning applications of all types. They are commonly either installed onto a tabletop surface, or alternatively attached to or recessed into a ceiling.
How can a Visualizer improve your presentations?
Many studies* indicate that presentations made using a document camera or Visualizer, can help to make learning easier. Information presented visually is much easier to remember, and is retained for far longer than information presented only orally.
Combining materials to be presented using a document camera with other content such as PowerPoint slides, enables the media content source to be switched regularly, which helps to refresh audience attention spans. For hybrid working and learning, a document camera, when attached to a computer running a web conferencing application, helps to provide a consistent working and learning experience, for both in-person, and online meeting attendees. This is because everybody in the session sees the same on-screen content, wherever they are located.

Peavey® Launches Third Generation MediaMatrix® SCION® Platform at InfoComm 2022
MediaMatrix®introduces SCION®, the all-new and powerful Media and Control processor. Shaping the third generation MediaMatrix offering, SCION calls upon 30 years of engineering prowess and market expertise in DSP and networked audio to deliver the most powerful media and control system available today.
SCION, a descendant of the legendary MediaMatrix NION® platform, transcends its predecessor leveraging ADi’s cutting-edge SHARC® DSP architecture providing a fully scalable, configurable and flexible media and control processing system. At the heart of the new Peavey MediaMatrix ‘S’ series ecosystem – PCA announces MediaMatrix sNET™ the native AES67 media transport protocol capable of delivering up to 512×512 networked audio channels from a single device. Designed as a ‘Build it Your Way’ system, the SCION frame can be configured from an entry-level device to a fully-featured powerhouse or something in-between with optional hardware modules giving the consultant, integrator, and end-user unrivaled fit for purpose flexibility.
Sharing in some strong elements of DNA with NION paves the way for backwards compatibility and convergence, allowing consultants to design system upgrades and fresh projects with the confidence of a simplified and seamless migration path thanks to NWare™ 3.0’s new dual-compiler tool enabling SCION and NION nodes to coexist in the same project. NIO™ Card-based I/O is also compatible with SCION providing welcomed continuity, quality and flexibility.
SCION represents the evolution of MediaMatrix and as the meaning of its name suggests a ‘shoot’ that has taken root and continues to grow organically symbolized as a tree with branches and offshoots growing as companion control and I/O products forming to shape a rich ecosystem known as the ‘S’ series.
As the world’s first digitally configured and controlled distributed audio system, MediaMatrix has grown from roots of wisdom, through decades of understanding. The launch of SCION signifies innovation in full bloom – a technology and ideal that has been nurtured over time and is ready to flex its branches to accommodate the world’s most demanding commercial audio needs.
