Poly Studio P15 - 4K - built-in speaker - microphones - video bar - small rooms

Online team meetings, video conferences, business meetings in the home office - these have become more commonplace than ever in everyday working life in recent years. With the Poly Studio P15 Videobar, you get a professional and reliable camera solution for your next online meeting. A powerful 4K image sensor as well as super optics namely ensure that your image is shown in excellent quality throughout the entire meeting. What's more, with automatic camera framing, you'll stay centred in the frame the whole time, even when you're moving around. The video bar also has a built-in speaker and 3 microphones for clear sound. And thanks to NoiseBlockAl and Acoustic Fence technologies, even distracting background noise is no problem.

The Poly Studio P15 video bar is very easy to mount: The scope of delivery includes a monitor mount that allows you to easily attach the slim video bar above your display. You then adjust the optimum angle to suit your needs and the video conference can begin. The viewing angle of the P15 video conference camera is 90 degrees. This means that you will always be perfectly in the picture, provided you attach the camera to a monitor or screen directly in front of you. If you prefer not to or cannot install the P15 on your display, even mounting it on an optional tripod is possible without any problems.

The video bar offers a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels with a powerful 4K image sensor. This ensures that image noise is reduced and the image remains consistent throughout. In addition, you have a 4x digital zoom at your disposal that automatically aligns with you. Thanks to automatic camera framing, you remain centred in the picture for the entire video conference, even when you move. For example, if you want to retrieve an item from your cupboard, return to your desk and show it to your colleagues, you still remain centred in the picture and do not have to make complicated adjustments yourself to make the picture fit again.

In addition to its excellent video quality, the P15 also scores with its audio qualities. You often have the problem that you don't understand your colleagues properly and have to ask them what they just said. This cannot happen with the Poly Studio P15. The video bar has a built-in loudspeaker with a sound-absorbing passive membrane, which gives you a rich sound. It also has a multi-microphone array that tracks your movements to make your voice clearly audible. Poly has also brought on board two technologies, NoiseBlockAl and Acoustic Fence, which can block out distracting noises and external voices. Sometimes employees are talking in the hallway so that webinar participants can hear everything, or in the home office the neighbour's dogs are constantly barking in the front entrance. With the Studio P15 video camera, you don't have to worry about that. An additional advantage of the video bar: you can pair optionally available headsets or conference speakers at any time and thus obtain even more comfort in longer video conferences. The USB connection required for this is concealed in the housing, allowing you to integrate a wireless USB dongle invisibly into the camera.

Online communication in the working world takes place via certain apps. The Poly Studio P15 is compatible with any video application. Simply connect the camera to your MAC or Windows PC via USB 2.0 cable and start a video conferencing tool of your choice. Whether it's Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business, Zoom, GoToMeeting or other tools, you can use the P15 with any system as long as it supports the USB/UVC standard.

The Poly Studio P15 video bar has another practical feature: it has an integrated lens cover. With this so-called privacy shutter, you have control over when you can be seen in front of the camera and when you prefer to be invisible. Especially in the home office, this can sometimes be a blessing and save you from unnecessarily embarrassing scenes. Who hasn't experienced it: sometimes a child jumps into the picture, sometimes the master of the house runs through the room lightly dressed after a night shift or the cat jumps around in the background. With lens coverage, you have more control over what others can see.

The Poly Studio P15 offers true plug-and-play and can also be managed by your IT at any time via Poly Lens. Just focus on what's really important to you, and this Poly Studio video conferencing solution will help you do just that.
