The Studio V12 is a video conferencing solution from the brand Poly.

BYOD OR AUTONOMOUS ROOM (up to 5 people)
The Poly Studio V12 can be used in BYOD mode, simply by connecting it to your PC, or in "autonomous" mode by connecting it to a dedicated computer (PC Base kit available as an option upon request, via your sales representative). This makes it a versatile solution, ideal if you want to equip a room without necessarily investing immediately in its complete transformation into a dedicated room.

POWERFUL ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION
Like all bars, the Studio V12 has the advantage of managing both image and sound. There is no need to add additional elements to capture and deliver sound, as it is equipped with no less than four microphones. The image quality is optimal, with a 2160p 4K UHD resolution.

AI TO OPTIMIZE IMAGE AND SOUND
This Poly bar has integrated artificial intelligence to enhance image and sound quality. Poly DirectorAI offers various framing modes (group, vignette, speaker, and presenter tracking), the ability to set a perimeter to focus on the video-conferencing space, and the management of multiple cameras (to be purchased separately and may require an additional accessory).

DIFFERENT POWER MODES
The Poly V12 is sold without power supply. You can connect it either via a power adapter or via PoE++ (power over Ethernet network).

QUESTIONS / ANSWERS

1. What are the key features of the Poly Studio V12 for video conferencing?
   
   The Poly Studio V12 is an all-in-one video bar designed for small and medium meeting spaces. Its strengths include:
   • 4K camera with intelligent auto-framing: thanks to AI Framing technology, the camera automatically reframes the image to include participants based on their position.
   • Built-in wide-range audio: two speakers and a matrix of four echo and ambient noise-canceling microphones ensure clear voice reproduction up to 4 m around the bar, without the need for additional microphones.
   • Plug-and-Play configuration over USB: the V12 simply connects via USB-C to a PC or Mac, with no additional driver installation required. It is immediately recognized as an audio and video peripheral. It can also function in autonomous mode by connecting to a dedicated computer.
   • Compact and sleek design: installed above or below the screen, the V12 discreetly blends into the room and minimizes visible cables.
     
2. Is the Poly Studio V12 compatible with major video conferencing platforms?
   
   Yes:
   • Certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom Rooms
   • Also works with Cisco Webex, Google Meet, and any other UC client via USB: in standard USB mode, it appears as a 4K webcam and stereo audio device, making it compatible with Skype, Cisco Jabber, Google Meet, BlueJeans, GoToMeeting, etc.
   • Software updates via Poly Lens: the Poly Lens application allows remote firmware management and verification that the V12 remains compatible with the latest versions of video conferencing platforms.
     
3. What size room is the Poly Studio V12 suitable for?
   
   The V12 is optimized for:
   • Small meeting rooms or private offices (up to 4-5 people): the microphone-camera range is designed to capture participants around a compact table.
   • Huddle spaces: with a 120° field of view and audio coverage up to 4 m, it enables effective video conferencing without additional equipment.
   • Not suitable for large conference rooms (more than 5 people): in this case, it is preferable to opt for a video bar dedicated to medium/large rooms, with additional table microphones or PTZ cameras. See our other offers or contact your sales representative for a customized project.
