Immerse Yourself with Intelligent Meeting Solutions from HP and Poly
By Helen Sheirbon, SVP and Division President, HP Hybrid Systems
The ability to connect, collaborate, and create with colleagues across the globe is not just a matter of convenience in today’s hybrid world—it's a necessity. It comes as no surprise then that room endpoints, including PC-based room kits, are poised to see significant growth, up to 20% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) by 2028, according to Frost & Sullivan.[i]
To meet this demand, today HP introduced next-generation Poly video conferencing and collaboration solutions to deliver more intelligent, flexible, and immersive meeting experiences.
Intelligent Solutions for Flexible Spaces
The Poly Studio Base Kit G9 Plus designed for Microsoft Teams Rooms is a next-generation room solution co-engineered by our desktop compute and collaboration teams. The solution includes the new HP Mini IP PC G9 and Poly TC10 controller which connects directly to the PC with a simple Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection[ii] to combine Poly’s legendary collaboration experience with HP’s peak compute performance. Multiple controllers can be added in larger spaces for greater versatility.[iii] Whether you’re in a focus room or a board room, simply pair the base kit with compatible Poly cameras and other peripherals to match the needs of the meeting space.

The best meeting experiences allow participants to be seen and heard – even remotely – without distracting background noises. Select Poly devices, such as the Poly Studio V52 video bar, can be attached to the HP Mini IP PC to enable Poly’s AI-driven audio and video features like Poly DirectorAI Perimeter, NoiseBlockAI, and Sound Reflection Reduction to eliminate distractions and frame-up participants. These types of collaborative AI innovations will take your team’s meetings to the next level, so you can have your best meeting, every meeting.
The Poly Studio G62 is a modular video conferencing system that brings enterprise-grade video and audio to large and flexible spaces. With its modular design, the Poly Studio G62 seamlessly integrates with various peripherals such as cameras, microphones, and controllers, making it an ideal solution for board rooms, classrooms, and flex spaces.
The Poly Studio G62 provides a premium experience that can be easily expanded with multiple cameras and microphones to ensure participants show up and stand out, even in the largest meeting spaces. With sustainability top of mind, the Poly Studio G62 is made up of 80% post-consumer recycled plastics and 20% recycled metals. And it’s a breeze to set up, with flexible mounting options to suit any space. Poly Studio G62 is certified for Microsoft Teams and is pending certification with other platforms, including Zoom and Tencent.

Enhanced Control with Poly VideoOS
The upcoming release of Poly VideoOS 4.3 software will enable the Poly TC8 or TC10 to be used as an advanced room controller. When paired with Poly Studio X Series video bars, Poly Studio G62, or G7500 video conferencing system, users can conveniently access video calls, and control various room settings such as lighting and displays from a single device. This web-based capability offers even greater flexibility, allowing customers to configure controls for an improved in-room user experience.
