Additional Information

Steve Kline is a seasoned video and digital media professional with over 30 years of experience in encoding, audio/video engineering, multimedia production, 2D/3D graphics, and live-streaming technologies. This deep technical foundation naturally evolved into a specialized focus in Video and Audio Forensics. Steve began assisting law enforcement, attorneys, and private security firms in 1996, applying his video expertise to criminal cases involving armed robbery, hit-and-run incidents, and homicides. His video assistance in a 2007 assault case and forensic involvement in Connecticut’s last death penalty case in 2009 marked the beginning of an ongoing collaboration with the Connecticut State Attorney’s Office. Since then, Steve has processed digital evidence in dozens of homicide cases, supporting both investigations and prosecutions. His objective, fact-based approach has earned him respect across the aisle—he is routinely hired by defense attorneys who have seen firsthand the quality and impartiality of his work. Steve is known for uncovering critical, often-overlooked visual and audio details through careful enhancement techniques, always maintaining the authenticity and evidentiary integrity of the media. His analysis has directly contributed to arrests, convictions, and exonerations. In just the past year, Steve successfully challenged flawed state and federal agency reports, exposed gaps in training and methodology, and helped prosecutors pursue the correct charges against the right suspects. As the founder of Pixel Analysis, Steve continues to invest in cutting-edge forensic technologies. He is LEVA-certified and committed to ongoing education, recently adding 3D laser scanning for scene processing, speed, and height analysis. As an FAA-certified drone pilot, he also provides aerial mapping and video reconstruction for crime scene analysis. In addition to his technical expertise, Steve draws on over 35 years of experience in martial arts, including certification as a Master Instructor of Tang Soo Do. His background in confrontational dynamics provides valuable insight in assault and altercation cases captured on video, especially where Use of Force analysis is not required.
