Getting Started
The Poly Studio USB video bar is an all-in-one video and audio hub for small rooms.
Poly Studio Overview
The Poly Studio USB video bar is a high-quality camera and speakerphone system that integrates an auto-framing camera,
stereo microphones, and stereo speakers.
Poly Studio works with applications that support standard USB devices, such as Polycom RealPresence Desktop, Microsoft
Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and BlueJeans.
As a USB camera and speakerphone, you can use the Poly Studio USB video bar for audio or video conferencing and as a
speaker for your local devices. You can also use Poly Studio as a Bluetooth device that supports audio calls and streaming
music playback from a mobile device.
You can connect the Poly Studio USB video bar to either a permanently installed PC USB host in the room or to a laptop
that you bring to the room. In all configurations, you primarily connect through USB, with an optional Bluetooth
connection.
If you’re the administrator of the Poly Studio USB video bar, download the Polycom Companion or Poly Lens desktop for
advanced setup options, such as connecting Poly Studio to your Wi-Fi network. You can manage the Poly Studio USB video
bar from Poly Lens or Poly Clariti Manager via Wi-Fi connectivity. See the Poly Documentation Library for more
information about these products.
Highlights of the Poly Studio USB video bar include the following:
• High-fidelity stereo microphones that pick up sound within 3.66 m (12 ft), together with spatial audio to imitate life-like
presence and clarity.
– Poly Studio also supports Polycom Acoustic Fence with Beam Shaping that enables video conferencing in open
workspaces by capturing only the voices within a defined zone.
– The NoiseBlockAI feature listens for times when sound is occurring but no one is talking and automatically mutes
your microphone until you speak.
• Ultra-wide 120-degree field of view that captures 4K UHD video.
• Automatic speaker-tracking technology that zooms in on the person who’s talking without using a remote control or
camera presets. When there’s no active speaker, the group frame function automatically frames all conference
participants as a group.
Note:
Poly Studio supports 4K video when you have the following:
• Software client or conferencing platform that supports 4K
• Monitor that supports 4K resolution
• USB 3.0 cable
• PC capable of 4K graphics with USB 3.0 port (if using software client)
When you use a USB 2.0 cable, the 2K or 4K video resolution requires H.264 support. You can download and install the
UVC 1.5 driver from the Poly Online Support Center to enable H.264 streaming.
