Setup Overview
ExhibitView Trial Presenter uses your laptop’s main screen for all the
presentation functionality. What we mean is that the main screen of
your laptop is where you will select exhibits, annotate, and present
to the judge and jury (aka the courtroom). Further, the screen that
the courtroom sees is what we will herein call the Presentation
Screen. This screen only shows the exhibits, including videos, that
you need the courtroom to see. When you’re not presenting
anything, the screen will remain blank or will have the ExhibitView
logo in the bottom right. The logo is important because when you
see it up on the projection screen or TV, this means you have set
up correctly.
The question many ask, and many know, is how we split the
screens. The answer is WINDOWS! Windows offers a feature
called “Extended Desktop” and we take full advantage of this.
Have you ever seen someone in your ofce or another ofce using 2
monitors on his/her desk? Of course, almost all of us have. When you
look closely you can instantly see they may have their email account
open in one of those screens and they may have some other
program (i.e. Microsoft Word™, billing software, case management
software, anything) on the other screen. This feature of Windows™
is incredibly useful.
ExhibitView takes advantage of this Windows™ feature. We keep
the work area, ExhibitView main screen on the laptop, and the
clean presentation screen on the extended screen.
