Bridgit for iPad app
Leverage your investment in iPads by downloading the Bridgit for iPad app from the App Store. Students can use features like raising their hands virtually on their iPad during a lesson to make lessons more interactive. And the app supports iOS6.1.2 and first generation iPads on iOS5.1.1.
Improved video quality
View video streams from up to nine locations simultaneously. The video quality has been improved through a frame rate that is twice as fast and a pixel count that is 4 times greater than in the previous version of the software.
Intuitive controls
Easily control video and audio settings, resize video windows and select tiled or filmstrip layouts for viewing.
New support for server virtualization
The software is easy to install on a virtualized server running vSphere 4.1.
All features

Face-to-face interaction
Use voice, video, instant messaging and digital annotations to share content and participate in whole-class or small-group instruction on a SMART Board interactive whiteboard or personal computers in real time.
Content sharing
With one click share your SMART Notebook™ software files and website content from your computer desktop or SMART Board interactive whiteboard so everyone can see.
Content collaboration
Write, draw and interact with files to collaborate with students anywhere – remote students can draw on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard at the same time as a student in the room.
Audio support
Use any microphone headset to hear classroom discussions and ask questions.
Video capabilities
Use Web cam video streams to visually connect remote students with the rest of the class in a real-time video stream that appears in a pop-up box. The software supports video from up to nine locations simultaneously.

Secure collaboration
Multilayer password options and SSL encryption ensure students can collaborate in a safe environment. The software is also designed to work with firewalls.
