New CCTV facilities for Penrith Courthouse

Tue Oct 14 2008

New closed circuit television (CCTV) facilities have been installed in Penrith Courthouse, NSW Attorney General John Hatzistergos announced today. Two large plasma television monitors have been installed in Courtroom One at Penrith and will be used to screen live remote witness testimony as well as pre-recorded evidence. Electronic evidence can be played to the court on all major formats, including CD, analogue tape, DVD, VCR and laptop computer.

“Sexual assault victims are now able to testify via CCTV cameras from a new private and secure remote witness room,” Mr Hatzistergos said.

Courtroom One has also been fitted with an electronic filming device, called a Digital Presenter, which is used to zoom in on objects and project them on to the plasma screens.
