Sixth Circuit courtrooms support digital evidence through HD displays, document cameras, wireless laptop connections, and multimedia presentation systems; some equipment requires advance training.

Courtrooms across the circuit are equipped with audio and visual technology to support the presentation of evidence.

Electronic media and still-photography coverage is allowed in Florida public trial and appellate proceedings under Rule 2.450's equipment and conduct standards, always subject to the presiding judge's control of decorum, distractions, and fair administration.
