With the room-filling sound and pinpoint microphones of the Poly Studio X50, all participants in your huddle room can hear your calls clearly and be understood clearly. This lets you experience meetings as if you were really there in person. Even participants who tend to have a soft voice are picked up by the built-in microphones and can be heard perfectly and clearly. With intelligent features such as Poly Acoustic Fence and NoiseBlock, Poly Studio X50 automatically mutes participants and eliminates distracting background noise and other unwanted sounds. For perfect voice capture, the maximum distance of 7.6m should not be exceeded

The ultra-wide 120-degree field of view that captures 4K UHD video allows you to see all participants in the picture in Huddle Rooms and display them on your screen in the best possible resolution. Automatic speaker tracking technology, which zooms in on the person speaking without the need for a remote control or camera presets, saves you the hassle of controlling the camera during the meeting. If there is no active speaker, the group picture function automatically captures all conference participants as a group. The camera detects changes in the room at any time, even if a person leaves or joins the room. Poly Studio X50 automatically adjusts to the new circumstances, so no participant is out of the picture and you don't have to worry about anything.

Everything is designed for ease of use and uncomplicated processes. But what does ease of use even mean? IT teams around the world are helping their organisations adapt to new workplace rules. Typically, organisations use multiple UC platforms, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, for video collaboration, while new platforms are added almost daily. In addition, organisations are creating new spaces for collaboration such as huddle rooms, which continue to bring new challenges.
