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).
