Why it Matters?
Video recording must be noticed to be available, and adding it later requires agreement or an order. Technical requirements matter for trial use, since courts have rejected recordings with inadequate audio or framing that obscured the witness. Ordering synchronization at the time of recording rather than retrofitting it is both cheaper and more reliable, and it is the input designation work depends on.
