Version 3.2 offers superior audio quality and enhanced support for the Mac operating system
SMART Technologies Inc. has announced the release of Bridgit™ conferencing software 3.2 for Microsoft® Windows® and Mac OS operating systems in the Middle East. The latest version adds improved Voice over IP (VoIP) to Web conferencing applications, chat features, support for more users and enhanced support for the Mac operating system. Bridgit conferencing software 3.2 allows users to connect instantly and share voice, video and data over the Internet in real time. Moreover, the new version allows teachers and business professionals to connect through any Internet browser without having to install the software. Bridgit software continues to offer the benefits of easy, secure, cost-effective conferencing for corporate meetings and distance education, eliminating travel time and costs.
Version 3.2 has refined the VoIP audio quality that will provide further support for teachers and students or business associates who are separated by long distances. A new chat feature now allows all participants to communicate while in the Bridgit software Web conferencing session. Bridgit software 3.2 enables users to connect simultaneously, share desktop and webcam images, and write notes in digital ink for everyone to see. Corporate customers who occasionally use Bridgit software in meeting rooms also find it easy to use. With the click of a mouse, they can connect with other parties around the world. Bridgit software is also invaluable in a long distance education environment because students and teachers can connect using their SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard and Sympodium™ interactive pen displays.
Maher Husseini, Director, Intmark Distribution, said, “The Bridgit software is particularly useful for creating powerful distance learning environments for students. When the software is used in conjunction with SMART Board interactive whiteboards, it effectively enables videoconference teachers and students to share ideas and manipulate data at a distance. Bridgit software is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool that improves the quality of synchronous instruction in videoconference course delivery and we are expecting a warm response for the new version in the Middle East.”
Nancy Knowlton, SMART’s CEO said, “Bridgit conferencing software provides an easy, secure and inexpensive way to communicate and share information around the world. Version 3.2 gives customers improved VoIP and chat, providing them with additional functionality and an enhanced Web conferencing experience.”
Version 3.2 can be downloaded at no cost to customers using versions 3.0 and 3.1. Bridgit software is available to purchase directly from SMART or an authorized reseller of SMART products.
