Public inquiries
Every question answered.
Public inquiries operate under levels of scrutiny, duration and procedural rigour that are fundamentally different from standard AV projects. Systems must perform reliably for months or years, support complex evidence handling, accommodate hybrid participation, and meet the expectations of legal teams, the media and the public.
RTS has established experience delivering AV for inquiry environments, from principal hearing rooms through to press facilities and secure virtual access. Every element is configured with the understanding that system failures in this context carry reputational and procedural consequences.
Common applications
These are just some of the most common uses. Don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss your requirements.
- Principal hearing rooms with audio reinforcement, video distribution and evidence display
- Electronic presentation of evidence (EPPE) with real-time operator control
- Compliant audio and video recording with chain-of-custody controls
- Press and media facilities with managed feed distribution
- Hybrid and remote participation for witnesses, counsel and observers
