Fixed Hybrid Courtroom A Fixed Hybrid Courtroom is conceptualized as a high-tech space for a judge, the clerk, and the court reporter/recorder, and it is not accessible to the public. All other participants would be remote. As depicted, it could seat up to four people plus the judge. The judge’s control center is fixed, centrally located, and flanked by a table on each side. Cameras for each participant could be mounted on the wall above the display screens. Large format, dual display screens are recommended. One to display evidence and the other for remote participants.

Remote Access Room For those who have a court proceeding scheduled to be conducted online, some will want to connect from the courthouse or a Remote Access Center location. There are many reasons for this, including lack of proper technology, lack of bandwidth, and no data plan. Also, some people simply want a quiet place without distraction and the appropriate etiquette. Remote Access Rooms should have acoustical privacy, lighting, and equipment to conduct an effective online proceeding. A Remote Access Room provides the opportunity for a proper background.
