Poly Studio P15Personal Video Bar

The Poly Studio P15 puts the camera, microphones, and speaker of a small meeting room into one bar that sits on top of a monitor. A 4K image sensor shoots Ultra HD (2160p) down through Full HD and 720p across a 90 degree diagonal field of view, and auto-framing keeps the subject centered without them having to stay pinned to the chair. True color processing and low-light compensation hold the picture together in a room lit by a single window, and electronic zoom up to 4x plus manual pan, tilt, and zoom from the Poly Lens Desktop app let the shot be set once and left alone.

Audio is the reason to choose a bar over a webcam. A 3-element beamforming microphone array (50 Hz to 14 kHz) steers toward the voice, while Poly Acoustic Clarity handles full-duplex and echo cancellation and NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence strip out the sounds that are not the conversation. The integrated speaker runs 100 Hz to 20 kHz, so far-end voices carry without a separate box on the desk. It connects over a single USB 3.0 Type-C port (USB 3.0 is required for 4K) and offers two USB 2.0 Type-A ports that act as a hub for a wireless headset adapter. A privacy shutter closes the lens. In the box: the P15 video bar, a removable monitor clamp, power supply and cord, a USB-C cable, and a setup sheet.
