What’s new
Easier installation and use
Enterprise software needs to meet the same usability standards as consumer software. FTR Gold™ has had a makeover with an updated user interface (with the option to use the classic design), and a new installer to silently install and deploy the FTR Gold™ Recording Suite which will uninstall previous versions of FTR Reporter™ and the FTR Gold™ Recording Suite*. Upgrades are also supported across FTR Player™, and FTR Gold™ Annotation and FTR Gold™ Monitoring Suites.
Optimal performance
We understand that you need the utmost confidence in your recording system when it matters most. With new improvements and features, FTR Gold™ provides ongoing assurance and peace-of-mind.
Archiving and storage
In the age of big data, storage is becoming more complex. FTR Gold™ assists courts manage and provide access to recordings with configurable save destinations to suit multijurisdictions and archiving in line with relevant
retention policies.
Recording quality
The clear and complete capture of the court record is key to the court reporting process. That’s why FTR Gold™ comes with fast recording start-up and automatic detection and alerts for loss of signal and low audio levels based on ambient noise levels.
Remote recordings
We live in a decentralized world. In this day and age, the person controlling the recording no longer needs to be in the same physical location as the courtroom. Software needs to be fully flexible to support this model. FTR Gold™ provides fully featured remote control, so that a single PC on a network can be used to monitor and control one or more recording environments. Remote monitors can complete jurisdiction specific recordings without changing the existing FTR recording folder structure.
Improved integration
It is increasingly unacceptable for information to live in data silos. Users want collated data, at their fingertips. FTR Gold™ integrates with case management systems and has increased compatibility with a wider range of networked and USB audio interfaces, and IP cameras.
