HP’s Poly Introduces Studio Systems for Zoom Rooms

by · November 10, 2022

HP Inc.’s Poly, a global provider of audio and video-conferencing solutions, today announced Poly Studio Systems for Zoom Rooms, powered by HP. HP acquired Poly last August for $3.3 billion.

Each Poly Studio System features solutions, certified for Zoom Rooms, that are powered by the HP Mini Conferencing PC, plus a Poly TC10 controller and scheduler. Poly says its solutions are designed to enable users to easily join meetings, with participants easily seen and heard wherever they’re located. 

The company says Poly Studio Systems for Zoom Rooms provides IT teams with the flexibility to outfit Zoom Rooms of varying sizes, with access to the operating system of their choice, including Poly support for both Android and Microsoft Windows environments.

Poly Studio Systems for small Zoom Rooms feature the Poly Studio R30; mid-size rooms feature the Poly Studio USB video bar; and large rooms feature the Poly Studio E70. Poly’s lineup of Studio video bars are said to be equipped with advanced AI capabilities, including Poly DirectorAI technology.

The Poly TC10 controller is a brand new device that’s included with Poly Studio Systems for small, mid-size, and large Zoom Rooms. The Poly TC10 provides Zoom Rooms users with the flexibility to use the device as a native Zoom Rooms Controller or Zoom Rooms scheduling display. It will also be available to purchase separately as an accessory and room scheduling display. As a meeting controller, the Poly TC10 can also be paired with the Poly Studio X Series or G7500 video conferencing system to control the cloud-based video app on the Poly Video OS system.

“Hybrid work is here to stay, and we are excited to strengthen our portfolio of Zoom Rooms systems powered by Poly and HP to deliver true meeting happiness,” said Cary Bran, global head of Zoom Rooms at Zoom. “By joining forces with Poly and HP, we can offer the ‘total package’ of solutions for Zoom Rooms, Zoom Phone, and Zoom Meetings as we continue to push the boundaries of the future of work.”

Andy Rhodes, senior vice president and general manager of HP Hybrid Work Solutions & Peripherals, commented:  “The future of meeting collaboration will require innovative solutions that allow everyone to be seen and heard with total clarity. Which is why Poly and HP are joining forces with Zoom to create a complete ecosystem of Poly Studio Zoom Room Systems designed to deliver meeting equity, so you show up and stand out.”

Poly offers a diverse portfolio of Zoom-certified hardware, and is said to provide a consistent user experience across Zoom Rooms, Zoom Phone, and Zoom Meetings. The Poly Edge E Series is the latest addition to join these solutions.

The Poly TC10 touch panel controller/scheduling display is now available to purchase as a standalone accessory, and comes in black or white.
