CaseViewer 3.1
Introduction to CaseViewer
The JAVS CaseViewer application will provide the end user the ability to view case media
along with case event logs, case notes and play list files. CaseViewer will also allow the user
to mute or adjust individual microphone levels, set mark in and mark out times for saving
segments of a case and give foot pedal control for the transcribing process. CaseViewer has
controls for play, pause, stop and go to index as well as seek capabilities and motion control.
CaseViewer will have the ability to run in multiple instances and connect to different locations
from the same computer, and will be able to open multiple file types based on Windows
Media Player default file types.
CaseViewer will allow the transcriber to control the media files via JAVS foot pedal
controllers, with reverse, forward and play functions and has a programmable automatic
backstep function when the play pedal is released.
With JAVS CaseViewer you can:
View case media files from the JAVS AutoLog Find Case function.
Open JAVS CVL files published from JAVS AutoLog or CaseScheduler.
Mark in and Mark out segments of a case and save them to a CVL file.
Use the JAVS foot pedal controllers for the transcribing process.

CaseViewer 3.1
Interface at a Glance
JAVS CaseViewer interface is divided into 5 functional windows;
Case Log:
Displays the case log for the selected case with time stamps for each event.
Clicking on any of the events will cause the viewer to play back from that time
stamp of the recorded media file.
Event Notes: Displays the case notes, public and private, which relate to each event in the
log.
Audio:
Displays the 5 channel audio playback in VU meter style. Mute and level
adjustments for each channel are available.
Playlist:
Displays the sequence and duration of each media file associated to the case
log that will be played.
Video:
Displays the video media file that is currently being played. Controls such as
Play, Stop, Pause, Skip, Seek and motion controls are available for media
manipulation.

CaseViewer 3.1
Understanding the Interface
Case Log Display:
The Case Log is created in JAVS AutoLog during a court
proceeding. These events are placed in the log based on the
time of day it occurred. When the case is opened in
CaseViewer, these log events will be displayed in the Case
Log display.
There are two columns in the Case Log Display; Time and
Event Text. The Time column will display the time at whic h
the log event was entered and the Event Text column will
display the proceeding that was entered at that particular
time.
Any event text that is highlighted and underlined is a link to
the media file currently loaded. Clicking on the link will set
the media to play at that specific time.
The up and down arrows will select the next or previous log
event.
Event Notes:
The Event Notes window will display any notes that
are associated with the current log event. Because the
note is associated with a particular event, that note will
have the same time stamp as the event and will follow
the media as does the case log.
6
CaseViewer 3.1
Playlist:
The Playlist window will display all the media files associated
with that case or that day’s case. Each media file is created
when a case is recessed or stopped or Public or Private modes
are activated.
For Example: If a case is recessed 3 times within a proceeding,
then there will be 4 media files associated with that case and
will be displayed in the Playlist.
Each file in the Playlist will display a start time, based on the
time stamping of JAVS AutoLog, the order in which the files will
be played and a duration of that file.
The media file that is currently playing in the viewer will be
highlighted in the Playlist. Double clicking on any file in the
Playlist will cause the Case Log and the media file to go to that
time of day and begin playing.
Video:
The Video display window will display
the current video file in play. The
interface includes controls for Play,
Pause, Fast Forward and Rewind.
Below the video display are two seek
bars, a single file seek bar and a
multiple file seek bar. The single file
seek bar will begin and end at the start
and completion of each file in the
Playlist. The multiple file seek bar will
begin and end at the start and
completion of the Playlist. The multiple
seek bar has triangular tic marks to
indicate the end of each file in the
Playlist.
Pressing the skip forward and skip backward buttons will take the
media to each individual file in the Playlist.
7
CaseViewer 3.1
There are also Mark In and Mark Out buttons, which will allow the
user to select individual segments for export to another file by using
the Save button.
Above the video display is a Playback Speed slider bar which will allow the media to be
increased up to two times play speed or decreased down to half speed. The player will
automatically adjust the pitch of the audio for audible discernment during Playback speed
control.
Backstep:
The Backstep function is a user configurable setting, from 0
seconds to 10 seconds, used by the transcriber. When using the
JAVS foot pedal control, this setting is the amount of time, in
seconds; the media will back-up, when the play pedal is released.
File Searching:
CaseViewer has two types of search functions, Current File Search and All File Search.
The Current File Search will allow the user to search the current file playing based on the
files duration. The All File Search will allow the user to search the entire ca se’s files by time
and date.
Current File Search button
All File Search button
Example of Current File Search:
Each file in the Playlist has a duration associated with it, pressing the Current File Search
button will allow the user to search for a particular point within that duration. File 2 in the
playlist has a duration of 3:28 and is the current file playing, indicated by the highlight in the
list. When the Current File Search button is pressed a Move to Time dialog window will
open. In this example, the Select Time in File field will be set to 2:03. When the Select
button is pressed the media file will advance to 2 minutes and 3 seconds into file 2 in the
Playlist.
8
CaseViewer 3.1
Example of All File Search:
Each case is comprised of one or more files and can span one or more days. The Search All
Files function will allow the user to search the case for specific dates and times the case was
recorded.
Pressing the All File Search button will open the Play from date and time dialog window.
Pressing the pull-down arrow will reveal a
calendar for date selection. Once a date is
selected, a time can then be typed in. Press the
Play button and CaseViewer will locate the file
for that date and time and begin to play from that
point.

Audio
The Audio window displays the recorded levels from either
the 5 track recording or the stereo recording. You can listen
to individual tracks or a combination of tracks by using the
mute buttons at the bottom of each slider.
You can also adjust the track volume by pushing the
slider up or down to the appropriate level for listening
convenience.
There is also an overall volume slider control in the video display window which contains an
overall volume control and an overall mute button.

CaseViewer 3.1
CaseViewer Operation
CaseViewer can be used to view single media files or a playlist of media files associated with
JAVS AutoLog log files (CVL files). CVL files are created when a case is published from
JAVS AutoLog or CaseScheduler. These files include the log events from a case and any
notes associated with those events.
When files are published, they can exist on CD, DVD or a network folder.
Below is an example of the file structure for a published case (case 001) that exists in a
network share folder (Published). Within the folder, a case folder is created for case 001.
Inside that folder, a folder structure is created starting with the year (2006) then the months
(5), (8) and finally the days (1), (26). Also within the published folder is a 001.cvl file, which is
the entire case file that was published. This file will contain the information for case 001
which was recorded on May 1, 2006 and August 28, 2006. In each day folder that the case
was recorded, a CVL file for that day will also be created for that day only. With CaseViewer
you can view the entire case or just an individual day.
To view a case log
1. Double click on the CaseViewer Icon on your desktop. CaseViewer will open.
2. Select File>Open Case Log and locate the CVL file for the case you wish to view and
press Open. The case will be designated by the case number followed by .cvl.

with that event will begin to play and continue to play from that point on.
5. If log notes are associated with an event, they will be displayed for each event in the
Event Notes window.
As the media files play, the log event list will follow the media, based on the time stamping of
the current log event.
The Playlist will indicate which media file is currently being played and display the duration of
that media file. When the current file completes its duration the next file in the playlist will
begin to play.
