The professional soundbar is perfect for medium-sized to large meeting rooms with a maximum of 20 people and is convincing all along the line. Nowadays, video conferences are an important tool for staying in touch with employees, customers or business partners. The Poly Studio X70 video soundbar even offers two integrated lenses with 4K camera sensors for close-up and long-distance recording at the same time. Easily share content wirelessly via Apple Airplay or Miracast - no additional app or tools required. Set-up, management and maintenance - the Poly Studio X70 reduces any stress level to zero.

The Poly Studio X70 is more than just a simple video conference soundbar. The integrated wireless content distribution alone is a wonderful way for companies to enable bring-your-own-device in the meeting room. Whether it's Miracast, Apple Airplay, Poly Content App, all meeting participants can wirelessly join the meeting and team collaboration is effectively enabled. The Poly Studio X70 comes to you with two HDMI outputs, so you can connect the 4K camera to two displays at the same time and of course also use Touch-Out for this.

For those who prefer a wired presentation, the X70 has both an HDMI and a USB input, which you can connect directly to your Mac or Windows PC. A real special feature is also the integrated support of cloud video platforms. So, even without a PC nearby, you can simply connect to the most important providers instantly via the Poly X70 and start a video conference. Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Room, GoToRoom, StarLeaf, RingCentral and DialPad are already integrated as native apps and can be started very easily. All other cloud service providers can be realised via the Poly Video app mode, so all other standard-based video solutions can also be started directly via the X70. This means you always remain free in your choice of providers and can provide both staff and guests with a simple and straightforward video conferencing solution at any time.

With the room-filling sound and pinpoint microphones of the Poly Studio X70, 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 integrated second-order gradient microphones and are perfectly and clearly understood. Active speaker tracking is a great feature if you want the camera to always focus on the speaker. The integrated two-way stereo speakers provide a rich sound, especially thanks to the extended bass keys. For perfect voice capture and high speech intelligibility, the maximum distance of 7.5m should not be exceeded

The Poly Studio X70 comes to you with two lenses. One wide-angle and one telephoto lens. This way, the camera seamlessly switches through the lenses and ensures a sharp image of people at all times. Even when they are further away or very close in front of the camera. So even in large meeting rooms you can see all participants perfectly in the picture and blurred images are a thing of the past. Thanks to Poly DirectorAI, your meetings will now be even better. You can choose how the camera should behave during a meeting. Should the group be captured or do you want to put certain people or speakers in the foreground. The camera detects changes in the room at any time, even if a person leaves or joins the room. The Poly Studio X70 automatically adapts to the new circumstances, so no participant falls out of the picture and you don't have to worry about anything.

What's more, the Poly Studio X70 can be centrally managed via Poly Lens for a smarter meeting experience. Instead of going from room to room to update software or change settings, you can deploy Poly Studio X70 throughout your organisation and manage multiple rooms from any location. 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. There are a few things to keep in mind when deploying technology that needs to be flexible and scalable.

Things you should definitely consider

- designed for up to 20 people in a room. For more, the integrated microphones, digital zoom etc. are not sufficient
- only digital zoom available - however, with an optical zoom, a significantly higher price would also be expected
