Connection to Bridge Mobile and Bridge8
4 Connection Magic
Connection Magic is not a feature in a program; it's a data delivery system.
What is Connection Magic?
Connection Magic is a data delivery system used to transmit realtime data to Bridge 3 and
Bridge Mobile users.
Connection Magic offers an easy, secure way to work with clients and colleagues. Used for
Realtime, it replaces the need to have a cable connected to your CAT computer with multiple
cable split off for client computers.
Connection Magic can serve multiple types of data, at the same time. You could have a
Bridge session with users connected in more than one location. At the same time, you can
send data to attorneys, judges, etc. running Bridge on their PCs or Bridge Mobile on any
device.
In brief:
1. You start a session and set a password, which you give to your clients.
2. Your clients select the file from a list.
3. Clients type the password to gain entry.
4. Connection Magic handles the security.
Who can use Connection Magic?
Reporters running Total Eclipse version 6 or later who have a keyless license and a Bridge
Broadcaster can use Connection Magic to send realtime data to scopists and proofreaders,
and to attorneys and others running Bridge 3 or the Bridge Mobile app. Details of features
specific to Total Eclipse users are in Chapter 5.
It can also be used by any CAT system that uses the CaseView protocol or the Bridge
protocol, including earlier versions of Total Eclipse.
What is the cost to reporters and attorneys?
Reporters pay an annual fee for a Bridge Broadcaster.
Attorneys and others who want to run the Pro version of the Bridge Mobile App pay a fee
either monthly or annually.
