Liberty Court Recorder Expands Integrated Live Streaming for Public Access & Courtroom Operations

As courts continue to modernize their digital infrastructure, Liberty Recording is introducing integrated live streaming services within Liberty Court Recorder, providing a secure, built-in solution for public access, internal monitoring, and courtroom workflow enhancements.

Live streaming is not just about public transparency—it is an essential tool for courtroom administration, legal accessibility, and digital case management. Unlike traditional video conferencing platforms, which require direct participant access, Liberty’s streaming solution allows courts to:

✔️ Stream live proceedings for public viewing without adding non-litigants into a virtual hearing.
✔️ Enable real-time courtroom monitoring for administrative oversight.
✔️ Provide direct streaming to assistive listening and remote interpretation devices.
✔️ Integrate with automated transcription tools and case management systems.

With support for multiple concurrent RTSP and NDI streams, Liberty Recorder eliminates the need for third-party streaming software, allowing courts to securely broadcast proceedings without additional hardware.

Why Live Streaming Is a Better Approach for Public Access

Many courts have experimented with granting the public direct access to virtual hearings, only to encounter security risks, participant disruptions, and administrative burdens. Live streaming eliminates these challenges by offering:

A Controlled, One-Way Viewing Experience

• Judges and clerks maintain full control over what is broadcast.
• No risk of unauthorized remote participants interrupting or engaging in the hearing.

Wider Public Access Without Overcrowding

• Virtual hearing platforms have participant limits, while live streaming supports unlimited viewers.
• Journalists, legal observers, and the public can watch proceedings without being manually admitted.

Seamless Integration with Liberty Recorder

• No need for extra hardware, cabling, or streaming encoders—streaming is built directly into Liberty Court Recorder.
• Courts can choose to use their own media server or subscribe to Liberty’s cloud-hosted streaming service.

Flexible, Dynamic Streaming Controls

• Start and stop streaming manually, or automate it to match recording status.
• Mute the stream in real-time without stopping recording—ideal for handling sidebars or sensitive portions of a case.

Beyond Public Access: Live Streaming for Internal Courtroom Operations

Live streaming is not only useful for public access, but also for improving courtroom efficiency, oversight, and accessibility.
​
Internal Monitoring & Administrative Oversight

• Court administration and IT teams can monitor multiple courtrooms remotely for operational oversight.
• Reduces the need for physical presence in every courtroom, improving staff efficiency.

Assistive Listening & Remote Interpretation

• Broadcast real-time audio feeds to assistive listening devices for hearing-impaired participants.
• Facilitate remote interpretation services, allowing interpreters to listen in from an external location.

Direct Integration with Transcription & Case Management Systems

• Send real-time courtroom audio to AI-driven transcription services (such as Liberty Notes Plus) without manual file uploads.
• Enable real-time speech-to-text processing for closed captioning or record indexing.

​How Liberty’s Live Streaming Works

With Liberty Court Recorder, courts can configure flexible, secure streaming workflows tailored to their needs via RTSP & NDI Streaming (Built-In, No Third-Party Tools Required):

• Send real-time audio and video feeds to internal monitoring stations, assistive listening devices, and transcription services.
• Supports multiple concurrent streams running in the background.
• No need for additional hardware or software —fully integrated within Liberty Court Recorder.
• Streaming to a Media Server (Court-Managed, Liberty Cloud-Hosted, or Third-Party)
• Broadcast proceedings to a court-managed media server for public or internal access.
• Liberty also offers a cloud-based media server subscription for courts needing a managed solution.
