Deposition Videography
Certified Legal Video Services, LLC, serving the Northeast corridor, especially the New York City metropolitan area, Northern NJ and Philadelphia, consistently offers superior legal deposition video because we have the skills, knowledge, equipment and understanding of how these impartial forensic products must be produced and how they are used. We apply state-of-the-art digital video technology and digital video post-production workflows to produce the highest quality legal video deposition deliverables. Whether we work in the NYC metropolitan area, the Northeast Region, from Boston to Washington, D.C., on national or international assignments, the quality of our legal video depositions is consistently outstanding and we have real testimonials to prove it.
Certified Legal Video Services has a $2,000 medical-grade DVD recorder that can produce a DVD of a deposition recording session on the spot: yet this equipment, as good as it is, cannot meet the DVD quality that we can offer using our non-linear digital post-production workflow. We video record every deposition with a highly secured digital network with at least three non-linear and extremely reliable high-capacity storage systems built into the recording chain. Using this state-of-the-art system, that we designed, CLVS LLC can record for hours with complete assurance that it is virtually impossible to ever lose the record. The recordings also use low compression codecs, thereby delivering the highest quality video at the optimum bitrate. This is important because when you start with the best quality your deliverable will be the best quality.
Our video deposition deliverables are unimpeachable because we understand and apply the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 30(b)(4) and Rule 1001 through Rule 1004 of the Federal Rules of Evidence for the videographer.
A meticulous objection, exhibit, colloquy and on/off record log is furnished with every deliverable. It is possible to offer these logs embedded as meta-data in the original recording and available as an index-searchable disc – so counsel can instantly go to a point of interest in the video-recorded deposition at the touch of a button. We assume that every video deposition has a destination in trial presentation so we are careful to produce the best quality recording possible. All of our videos can be synchronized to the ascii file of the court reporter's transcript.
Trial presenters not only demand the best quality picture, they want flawless audio. We use professional quality mics, mixers, ground-lift filtration and equalizers to provide the best quality audio in any environment, no matter where the recording is made. We provide every court reporter with a flawless CD-grade digital audio recording of the entire deposition on a single manageable file, which the reporter can synchronize to their stenographic record – assuring you, the counsel, that your deposition transcript will be perfect. In a legal deposition our teamwork is with the court reporter and both t he reporter and the videographer remain impartial. We are there to get the job done for the court record.
Whether we shoot a deposition video in New Jersey, New York City, in Philadelphia, Washington, DC, on the other side of the country or on the other side of the world, where recording settings must be adjusted for different voltage and current frequencies, CLVS, LLC produces recordings that are always top quality. Certified Legal Video Services is equipped to shoot dual-camera depositions in compliance with the Federal Rules and we offer a demonstration on the movie gallery page on how this is done. We are equipped and prepared for all manner of forensic specialty needs in video recording legal depositions. We can produce court-compliant video depositions with document presentation mixed recordings, including transparencies and small objects at up to 64x magnification.
