Poly’s Pro-Grade Devices and Remote Management Tools Deliver Total Equity Wherever You Work

Poly (NYSE: POLY) today introduced its latest pro-grade solutions to solve the evolving needs of today’s distributed workforce. Additions to Poly’s portfolio of intelligent devices include the Poly Studio R30, Poly Sync 10, and enhancements to the Poly Lens platform to help deliver exceptional experiences from wherever you work. These solutions, combined with developments to Poly DirectorAI smart camera technology, help employees look and sound their best, while employers can maintain focus on delivering meeting equity for hybrid and office workers alike.

“The ability to deliver a seamless and equitable experience for today’s modern workforce is not only critical for driving business success but also happier and more productive employees,” said Beau Wilder, Senior Vice President, and General Manager of Video Collaboration, Poly. “Although organizations have started to announce return-to-office plans, relying on solutions that were successful pre-pandemic will no longer cut it. At Poly, we’re dedicated to investing in pro-grade tools that make sure all employees have equal opportunity and experience - whether in the office, at home, or on the go.”

Outfitting the Modern-Day Workplace

The Poly Studio Series pro-grade video conferencing devices deliver a seamless purpose-built experience for meeting rooms of all sizes, including Poly Studio Kits for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows. Poly’s lineup of video conferencing devices brings equity and ease to upgrade every meeting with Poly DirectorAI technology which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to deliver real-time automatic transitions, group framing, speaker tracking, and presenter and conversation mode, while NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence technologies block-out unwanted background noise.

The newest addition to the Poly Studio Series is the Poly Studio R30 smart USB video bar, designed for small meeting rooms. This plug-and-play device comes equipped with Poly DirectorAI technology to ensure everyone is seen clearly with the pinpoint-accurate group and speaker framing. Poly is expanding its lineup of devices for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows to include the Poly Studio R30 Small Room Kit, optimized for smaller meeting rooms. The Poly Studio R30 works with the cloud-based video provider of your choice and is certified by Microsoft and Zoom.

Poly Studio R30 video bar features include:

• 4K camera with a 120-degree field of view so every meeting participant is seen clearly, even those sitting closest to the camera

• Poly DirectorAI smart camera technology that can perfectly frame everyone in the room, an individual speaker, or even track a presenter in real-time.

• Advanced audio with NoiseBlock AI and Acoustic Fence to block-out unwanted background noise

• WiFi device capabilities for remote IT management, eliminating the need for additional software in the room

• End-users have the option to personalize settings for their workspace

For larger meeting rooms, the Poly Studio E70 camera and Studio X70 video bar are adding a new Poly DirectorAI mode called people framing. People framing mode provides close-ups for each meeting participant in the room, which are displayed in gallery mode. People framing mode will be available on Studio E70 and Studio X70 starting in June 2022.

Delivering Flexibility in Microsoft Teams Rooms

In addition to the Poly Studio Small Room Kit for Microsoft Teams, Poly is delivering added flexibility for its entire lineup of Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows:

• A USB extender and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) options for more flexible room deployments and seamless connections to user’s laptops for any video app
• A Camera Control App so users can easily adjust the camera experience or change Poly DirectorAI modes
