SmartSource has decades of experience in providing service, support, and technology equipment for courtroom rentals. Let our experienced staff help solve your needs with their specific knowledge and experience in legal support and courtroom rental.

It makes good sense to choose a nationwide rental company for legal technology needs. SmartSource has deep roots when it comes to setting up a courtroom, war room, deposition, or offsite meeting. Choosing a company with established credibility could make all the difference in winning your next court case and SmartSource has trained staff, quality equipment, and direct courtroom experience to make sure your audio visual equipment is setup and working properly.

Many court cases have distinct needs that a mom and pop rental shop or local company may not realize. Sometimes the judge or lawyers in the courtroom may need the ability to preview audio and/or video through a monitor or speakers before it can be show to the jury for legal reasons. This might require some additional monitors and detailed cabling that is a little more complicated than just wheeling in a TV and pressing play.

The last thing your business or company needs to worry about while they are involved in legal issues is the audio visual rental technology not working when you need it most. The correct Elmo document viewer or LCD projector rental and fast fold screen may be great for simple parts of the case, but when it comes to complicated stuff like war room setups, secure servers, video depositions and audio setups – let SmartSource Rentals handle the legal technology rental in the courtroom.

Green Solutions for Tradeshows & Events

SmartSource  offers rental solutions that can help to reduce the impact on the environment for your next tradeshow, convention, or business event. These solutions are not only kinder to the environment, but in many cases they can also save you money!

Digital Document Library:

These documents are arranged in a digital library, allowing people to scroll through and browse documents that may be relevant to their specific needs.

Get a quote or learn more about Digital Document Libraries from SmartSource Rentals.

Digital Signage Solutions:

Digital Signage has a lot of different names associated with it (electronic signs, dynamic signage, captive audience network, digital media network, etc.) but generally speaking is a network of monitors displaying information that is all centrally managed. If you have ever been to a tradeshow or convention that had monitors in different areas displaying the floorplan, scheduling, agenda etc. then you are already familiar with digital signs. As with digital document libraries, Digital Signage can reduce or eliminate the need for heavy and expensive print material. In addition to the green benefits of reduced materials used, there can also be large reductions in the carbon footprint since heavy boxes/pallets of printed documents don’t need to be shipped to and from a printer and/or event location.

Digital Signage

Digital Signage is quickly becoming a more popular solution for displaying dynamic information in multiple locations at conferences, tradeshows, or large expos.

What is Digital Signage: (aka: Digital Signs, Dynamic Signs,  Electronic Signs etc)

If you have ever looked at the flight arrival/departure screens in an airport, LCD screens at a conference center displaying different room or meetings information, or even the small flat screens with weather or news updates found in some modern elevators or taxi cabs then you have seen digital signage. In a nutshell, digital signs and digital signage is when you have information being displayed on large monitors or screens that is all centrally controlled or dynamic. It can also be combined with touch screen monitors to offer a more interactive experience.

What is Digital Signage used for?

Dynamic Agenda Displays:
Imagine a convention center with 15 conference rooms that host new lectures in different rooms every hour for 10,000 attendees. Using digital signage, SmartSource can put LCD screens throughout the entire conventions center that dynamically display the topics, times, room numbers or other information allowing anyone to find what they are looking for fast. We can even provide the LCD Display Monitors or other equipment along with the digital signage solutions. Visit our Dynamic Agenda Displays Digital Signage page for more info.

Flight Information Boards:

Room Agendas:
