Customer Background

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), operational since 2016, is India's appellate authority established under the Companies Act and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. It also hears appeals involving the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India, the Competition Commission of India, and the National Financial Reporting Authority.

Project Requirements and Challenges

As part of the judiciary's digital transformation, NCLAT introduced hybrid and virtual hearings, allowing judges, lawyers, and other parties to participate either in person or remotely. This transition also increased the court's need for real-time, stable AV transmission and clear evidence presentation.

• Support for Hybrid and Virtual Hearings

Create an AV environment that supports both in-person and remote participation, enabling judges, lawyers, witnesses, and other relevant parties to take part in hearings in real time.

• Simultaneous Display of Multiple Video Sources

The court needed to display multiple video sources—including judges, lawyers, PTZ cameras, and document cameras—at the same time to provide a complete view of the courtroom and relevant evidence.

• Integration with Existing Courtroom Equipment

The new system needed to be compatible with existing PTZ cameras, document cameras, displays, and network equipment to reduce equipment replacement and system deployment costs.

• Real-Time, Stable AV Transmission

Different AV sources needed to be transmitted to designated displays in real time while maintaining clear, stable, and uninterrupted quality to ensure smooth hearing proceedings.

Solution

To meet NCLAT's hybrid hearing requirements, CYP provided a complete AV integration solution comprising a multi-view video processor, matrix switcher, HDMI splitters, and extenders.

The system combines multiple video sources—including judges, lawyers, cameras, and document cameras—into a multi-view layout on a single display. It can also flexibly route different signals to designated displays according to the requirements of each hearing.

Through USB AV capture, the integrated content can also be transmitted to a video conferencing system, allowing remote participants to follow the proceedings in real time. The solution integrates with existing cameras, displays, and network equipment, enabling the court to upgrade to a hybrid courtroom AV system while retaining its existing infrastructure.

Solution Advantages

• Clear and Comprehensive Multi-View Display

Multi-view video processing displays judges, lawyers, and evidence sources simultaneously on a single screen, making it easier to monitor courtroom activity and compare relevant information.

• Stable and Reliable AV Transmission

Real-time, stable AV transmission reduces the risk of video interruptions or latency, helping both in-person and remote hearings proceed smoothly.

• Simple and Intuitive Source Switching

Operators can quickly switch and route AV sources, reducing complicated procedures and equipment adjustments during hearings.

• Flexible Equipment Integration and Expansion

The system integrates with existing PTZ cameras, document cameras, displays, and network infrastructure while retaining the flexibility to add more AV sources and displays in the future.
