A videotaped deposition saves time, money, and provides the visual image and voice of important witnesses who cannot appear in court. If a witness is important enough to be called to appear at a trial but cannot attend, the solution is a videotaped deposition. Videotaped depositions lower trial cost dramatically and decrease actual trial time by as much as 25%. One drawback to a written transcript is that it does not show the witness's demeanor or body language, which can be very telling. The video deposition is becoming the most powerful tool a trial attorney can have at his/her disposal during discovery and at trial. Our legal videographers are trained, qualified specialists, and all are Notaries Public pursuant to Civil Code. We arrive one hour prior to the start of taping to asses the room and make any necessary adjustments before the proceedings begin. We have backup equipment available, and continually monitor the performance of our equipment during the recording process. We use professional low-light cameras and tie clip microphones to maintain the clearest recording and shoot against a professional photographic background to assure the best quality throughout the proceedings. Our goal is to assure that the testimony made before the camera will be equally effective before a jury. We also utilize a state-of-the-art archival process in the event there is lost or damaged media. By utilizing Golden State's high definition video conferencing services, you'll be able to take testimony and statements from virtually anywhere in the world without ever having to set foot on an airplane or be caught in traffic. The days of removing your shoes to step through a metal detector or having to unpack your notebook computer or briefcase for the security inspection are gone. The hassle of traffic gridlock, the soaring prices of gas and the stress of deadlines have now all been eliminated with our state-of-the-art high definition video conferencing. Just imagine taking the deposition of an expert witness at 9:00 a.m. in Chicago, meeting with a big client for lunch, playing a round of golf at 2:00 p.m., and being home in time for dinner with your family, all without leaving your own hometown. Long-distance depositions, expert witness testimony, and internal communications are only a few examples of why video conferencing is used throughout the legal community. Traveling is very time-consuming and the cost associated with travel is rising. Video conferencing allows for reading of body language and eye contact, which are key elements in deciding how to work a case. Video conferencing is, by far, the best way to make high-quality expert witnesses available to clients from anywhere in the world. Depositions, hearings, expert consultations, witness preparation, partner meetings, mock trials, jury research, settlement conferences, job interviews and much more... there is virtually nothing that you can discuss in person that can't be communicated face-to-face in a private video conference. As with depositions, DVDs and videotapes can be made for submission and/or review. All that is required from you is a date, a time and which city or cities for which the conferencing is to take place. Just one call from you and we will arrange everything! If you would like a free presentation of this time-saving tool, just call us to schedule an appointment. Golden State has made "being there" an easy and economical tool to complete your winning legal edge. For more information, click here. Video Transcript Synchronization: One of the most powerful software tools available to litigators today is the synchronized video transcript. Synchronizing the video and transcript maximizes the full potential of your deposition videos. You now can play the video as fast as you can search a transcript. All the end-user needs to do is click on a line in the transcript to play back the corresponding video, or highlight a section to create a clip for playback in court giving you complete access to your video when you need it most. Our state-of-the-art synchronizing process is phrase and keyword searchable and allows the end-user to highlight and make clips of key points in the video transcript and even make snapshots of screen images as a JPEG file. When you order a synchronized video transcript, you don't need any specialized software because it's all built-in. This self-contained digital video transcript launches automatically when you insert the disc into your disc drive. This specialized software is compatible with Sanction, Summation, Trial Director, LiveNote, TrialPro, PowerPoint and other leading applications that support synchronization. These leading applications also have built-in features allowing you to link documents to your transcript, make any annotations, and make graceful transitions with trail presentations.

Video & Transcript Live Streaming: Imagine attending a videotaped deposition without leaving the comfort of your own home or office... with Golden State's live video streaming, the dream is now a reality. At the deposition location, our videographer connects the camera into our specialized video streaming equipment and then connects to the Internet. All that is needed for you or anyone from your team to participant is a broadband Internet connection and a specialized username and authorization code. Once you have been granted access to the event, you will be allowed to see and hear the witness and have the capability to instant message other participants. There is no special software necessary to view the live video. The unique video streaming service allows all parties to connect in complex, multi-party litigation, saving much needed time and eliminate travel stress. This wonderful, time-saving process is especially popular for attorneys who need to make an appearance but not necessarily ask questions. We have taken this process a step further by allowing your court reporter to also connect to the video stream box and transmit the real time transcript to the participants as well. The transmission is completely secure to authorized participants only. A Day-In-The-Life video documents the physical, emotional, and social challenges your client faces in their daily environment. Our experienced videographers are responsive to both your legal requirements and to your client's concerns. We can shoot an entire day or just a piece of it. Tell us what's important and where the challenges lie, so we can capture everything effectively. Our equipment is minimally invasive and we try not to overproduce the assignment as if it were an HBO special. We approach the assignment as if we were a fly on the wall, capturing the scene as it appears before us. We put ourselves in the eyes of the jury, providing a documentation of what they themselves would see if they were personally there that day. Video inspections cover a wide area including environmental, safety, construction and engineering issues. Many times an engineer or investigator will make notes or measurements on camera and note their findings. Some inspections require videotape to be shot every week over a period of perhaps a year to document progress or change in conditions. Video Duplication, Digitization, Conversion & Transcription: At Golden State we can convert your videos to the DVD format allowing you to preserve your video for many years to come. While tape degrades every time you play it, DVDs can be played thousands of times without any change in quality. Not only will they be preserved, but with DVD you can take advantage of the power of DVD to navigate your video. We can also transcribe the video providing you with a script-like text of the video. We also encode and stream media enabling you to take your existing video content and digitize it for use in presentations or on the web. We support the following formats:
