The Justice and Attorney General of the State of Queensland in Australia selected Dalet ActiveLog to ensure the recording, distribution and transcription of the courts’ Official Record. The system is one of the largest digital media logging and monitoring system ever deployed. It interconnects a total of 263 courtrooms spread over 111 courthouses and ensures the automated distribution of digital recordings for transcription to a number of state reporting bureaus spread throughout the State of Queensland.
Dalet ActiveLog workstations (1) located in courtrooms record proceeding as four isolated audio channels. The day’s recordings are directly stored on a court house Dalet ActiveLog server (2) and replicated overnight by Dalet NetBack (3) automated store-and-forward engines to a statewide archiving centre (4) where they are stored in a data vault (5). Based on the workload of the various transcription centers (6) across the state, recordings are distributed through a secure WAN from the state archives (4) to the remote transcription centre. The local Dalet ActiveLog server (6) automatically generates transcription turns and distributes the corresponding work packages to court reporters (7) who use Microsoft Word in conjunction with the Dalet MediaPlayer which they control using a foot pedal. Resulting transcripts are associated as metadata to the original recording and replicated back to the state archives using Dalet NetBack engines (8).
