    High Criteria Announces Liberty Interview Recorder Version 2.6

    news
    High Criteria Inc., today announced the availability of the Liberty Police Interview Recorder (LIR), V2.6.

    The Liberty Police Interview Recorder is designed with recording features that address the needs of police and other law enforcement services. Specifically, the application records the audio, video and associated notes directly to the hard drive of a recording PC. Thereafter, the file may be managed, just as is any other data file. Integrating the interview recording with the computer environment allows the police service to leverage their existing investment in computing services and make use of current facilities for security, backup and recovery and long-term archival of the data.

    The Liberty Interview system allows services to eliminate older DVR and VHS machines. The player program facilitates transcription, and the recording file may also be saved in a format that plays in Windows Media Player on an PC.

    The system facilitates the addition of meta-data to the recordings. Later, this meta-data may be used as search criteria when looking for a specific recording file. Extensive search facilities are included with the application.
    ​
    Among other updates, the Liberty Police Interview Recorder V2.6 includes the following new features:
    • Support for the LightScribe technology that allows case information to be printed directly onto disc labels.
    • The LR-101 device can be used to add bookmarks at the touch of a doorbell-like button.
    • Support for standardizing the format of the "Officer" case field.
    • Support for Panasonic IP cameras.
    • Audio distortion for redacted segments such that either the audio is muted, or it is distorted via a voice encoder so that the audio can be understood but the person’s voice cannot be recognized.
    • Numerous other minor enhancements.

    High Criteria Announces Liberty Court Recorder Version 6.4

    news
    High Criteria Inc, a world leader in computer audio / video recording systems, today announced the immediate availability of an updated version of the Liberty Court Recording system for recording courtroom and other legal proceedings. The Liberty Court Recorder is a digital recording application that runs on a PC or laptop and records multiple audio channels directly to the computer hard drive.

    The Liberty System offers an economical, state-of-the-art alternative for those wanting to move away from tape systems such as the Sony BM 246 and incorporate the benefits of a digital audio / video recording system into the courtroom.
    Enhancements in this release include:
    • Support for a network connected iBoot device. The iBoot is controlled by the Recorder application which turns a 110v power outlet off-and-on in sync with the status of the recorder program. If the program is recording, then the 110v outlet is turned on. If the program is not recording, then the 110v outlet is turned off. This support allows a court to attach any standard 110v light to the iBoot and can indicate the recording status to observers in the courtroom.
    • Support for a new "file-split" facility. The file-split facility will automatically split recording files, as they are created. Splitting the files allows for the smaller files to be managed and transmitted, without waiting for the court session to complete and the recording file to be closed.
    • Support for including the status of the recorder program in the video broadcast stream, so anyone watching the stream will know the status of the recorder.
    • Support for the ability in the Player program to play dcr files across an IP network, without the need for the Microsoft Networking protocol.
    • A number of other internal updates and improvements.

    Version 6.4 of both the Liberty Recorder and the no-cost Player are available immediately. The Player may be downloaded from the High Criteria web site at www.LibertyRecording.com.
    Portable configurations suitable for use with a laptop computer are also available.

    • A new full-screen View that includes two video preview Windows provides a simple user interface in which the user / operator can view two video preview Windows.
    • The Redaction facility in the Player program has been enhanced such that copies of a recording made by the program may have segments where the video playback is "distorted" for subject privacy. Entering standard beginning and ending "bookmarks" allows the user to create any number of redacted segments with the video playback distorted. The original playback is not affected by these updates.
    • At the end of the recording, the recording file can automatically be copied to USB thumb-drives.
    • The system can now be configured to prompt the user for where the recording files should be saved. This prompt allows each user to specify a different save-location for the recording files and each save-location can be a different folder with different access rights.
    • Comments can now be saved with the redaction bookmarks.
    • The status of the recording program can now be included as text, in the broadcast video of an interview.
    • Numerous other minor enhancements.
