Digital docket display system launched for courthouses

July 26, 2016

Mvix, a provider of cloud-based digital signage solutions, has launched its dynamic Digital Docket Display System for courthouses, according to a company press release. The display system shows real-time case information that includes case numbers, parties involved, courtroom and time.

The Mvix Docket Display Systems are driven by a Docket widget. Priced at $10 per month for each display, the widget pulls case information from a docket database (in CSV, XML or JSON files), arranges the data in a format that is easy to read, then displays the information on a digital screen, the release said. Updates made to the docket database are automatically reflected on the digital displays.

In addition to names, case numbers, courtrooms and time, the docket displays can also show a description of the hearing, attorney information, building/floor, and the presiding judge. Clerks can even display custom information that's specific to their court e.g. police officer names them in traffic court, according to the release.

The company said the digital case information displays will reduce overall operating costs by eliminating the consumption of paper and printer supplies. They will also increase the efficiency of court clerks by cutting down on the time and effort required to display case information. Real-time information can be rendered across a bank of docket displays from a centralized location. The displays can be configured to show different information relative to their location, the release said. For example, a display in the courthouse lobby can show the docket of all judges, while a display in the hallway outside a courtroom can show the docket for a specific judge.

The docket displays will also improve the court experience. When visitors can quickly find the information they need, congestion and crowding in high traffic areas will be eliminated, according to Mvix. The digital real estate provided by the displays enables clerks to display multiple content at the same time e.g. show the docket alongside weather, news, court announcements, etc. Screens at the exit/entrance can also show traffic information.

In the event of an emergency, the displays can be used as emergency messaging solutions. Emergency alerts, including CAP alerts from local and national sources, can take over the displays and override current content to provide information about the emergency and instructions on what to do.

"The Docket Display System does an excellent job of improving court performance through improved coordination and communication," said A. Jay, senior director of business relations for Mvix. "This is a cost effective tool that every court needs especially in this digital age. It meets the needs of court personnel and visitors, and executes impeccably."
