TNMB Courtroom Technology ‐ Attorney Quick Reference Guide 5/2012
The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee is proud to offer various forms of courtroom technology, including evidence presentation equipment, to the members of the bar. All Courtrooms in Nashville are outfitted with some of the latest courtroom technologies. Columbia and Cookeville Courtrooms are linked via Video Conference so all hearings at those locations and appear in Nashville simultaneously. Below are a list of available resources and with explanations about the technology and tips on their use.
Lectern & Evidence Presentation Cart The primary evidence system is centrally stored and operated from an evidence
presentation cart located in front or adjacent to the lectern. The cabinet is equipped with:
a computer/laptop video input

Document Camera
The document camera allows any item placed on its display surface to be viewed on the courtroom display devices. The document camera is located on the top of the presentation cart. You can use the document camera to display virtually anything: 3‐D objects, transparent sheets, slides, and opaque presentation materials. There are several push buttons located on the front of this device. These buttons allow you to make adjustments to the video output of the camera and to select the type of lighting you want to use. The Courtroom Deputy will control these functions and make adjustments as necessary from the Deputy’s touch panel control. All buttons are labeled and their functions are self‐explanatory. You can also use the control buttons on the touch panel’s Document Camera Control screens. Follow these steps for use: • Place the item you wish to view on the bottom center of the unit. • As the Courtroom Deputy turns on the document camera, it will light up if necessary. • The Courtroom Deputy can Zoom in or out depending on what portion of the item you want to display. • The Courtroom Deputy can Adjust the focus or press the Auto Focus until you have a clear sharp picture.
