Graphix Multimedia Presentation System to facilitate the presentation of evidence at trial. Stelor would like to make use of this system that enables it to publish exhibits and videotaped trial testimony to the court and jury through the use of several computer monitors in the courtroom. The system also includes one high resolution projector and various peripheral devices to support the courtroom network. There are many advantages to using this medium in presenting evidence at trial, the principal one of which is that it shortens trial time. For instance, video depositions may be accessed by bar-code and played instantaneously without loading and ejecting a different videotape or searching for a specific part of a deposition. Other particularly useful features of the system include full-screen imaging of documents, split screen (side-by-side) display of documents, and highlighting of documents in a manner that is visible to the Court, the jury, and the parties. Stelor also requests permission for counsel to use laptops and Blackberry cellphones. If the Court grants permission to use the system, Stelor's vendor, TrialGraphix, Inc., requests the opportunity to set up the system in the Courtroom on the afternoon of January 3, 2007, at the Court's convenience and discretion. If the Court grants permission to use the system, representatives from Trial Graphix will consult with the U.S. Marshall's office as to all logistics in bringing the system into the Courthouse. WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Stelor respectfully moves this Court for an order: 1) allowing Stelor to publish evidence through computer monitors at trial;
