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 Polycom Companion 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, Polycom Device Management Services for Enterprises, or Polycom
RealPresence Resource 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, but the functionality depends on the software client and monitor
you use. For example, if you use a USB 3.0 cable and the Windows 10 Camera app, you can get
a 4K preview.
5
Page 7
Getting Started
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.

Using Poly Studio
Topics:
▪ Set Poly Studio as the Default Audio and Video Device
▪ Using Camera Presets
▪ Tracking Modes
▪ Connect Poly Studio to a Bluetooth Device
Once you plug in the power cable, you can start using the Poly Studio device.
Connect the Poly Studio device to your laptop or computer with the USB cable. Additionally, you can also
connect it to your Bluetooth host devices.
Set Poly Studio as the Default Audio and Video Device
If you use the Poly Studio device with a supported application for video calls, you may need to set Poly
Studio as the default audio and video device for your application.
For a better experience, Poly recommends that you use your Poly device as both the audio and video
device for your meetings. Mixed video and audio sources may impact the performance of certain features.
Possible scenarios include:
▪ If you don’t use the device’s speaker, Audio Echo Cancellation (AEC) may not work and the camera
may have issues tracking the speaker in the room.
▪ If you don’t use the device’s microphone, the LED indicator can’t show the audio mute status of
your meeting.
The following is a general procedure that you can refer to. Your application may use different terms or
categories.
You can configure the device to use the external expansion microphone or automatically adjust the input
source via provisioning. For more information, see the Poly Studio Parameters Reference Guide.
Procedure
1. Go to your conferencing application’s Settings.
2. Find Audio Device and Video Device.
3. Choose Poly Studio as the device for each category, then select Save.
Note: Make sure you use the same Poly Studio audio source. For better audio quality, if you
connect the Poly Studio device to a computer over USB and Bluetooth at the same time,
make sure you use the USB option for both audio input and output of your meeting.

Using Poly Studio
Using Camera Presets
Save two settings for pan, tilt, zoom, and focus for the Poly Studio camera.
Use the presets to adjust the camera to your saved angle directly when group framing and speaker
tracking mode is off.
Note: In Poly Lens Desktop, preset is known as Favorites.
Save a Camera Preset
The two numbered buttons on the Poly Studio remote control serve as preset shortcuts.
Turn off group framing and speaker tracking mode before you use camera presets.
Procedure
1. Adjust the camera to the desired position.
2. Long press the 1 or 2 button on the remote control.
The middle LED lights glow white for 3 seconds with a notification sound.
Important: If the button already has a saved setting, your new setting overwrites it.
Load a Camera Preset
If your camera doesn’t track the speaker, use the preset buttons on the remote control to adjust the
camera angle.
Turn off group framing and speaker tracking mode before you use camera presets.
Procedure
» Press the 1 or 2 button on the remote control to load the camera preset for the corresponding
button.
Tracking Modes
Besides the general group framing and speaker tracking mode, Poly Studio provides more modes for
specific scenarios like conversations or presentations.
The group framing and speaker tracking mode supports 4× digital zoom at most, while the manual zoom
supports up to 5×.
Note: You can enable only one mode at a time.
13
Page 15
Using Poly Studio
Conversation Mode
Conversation mode frames two speakers separately and puts them on the same window in a split view.
Note: Conversation mode is a Labs Feature that has not been fully tested or supported.
When there’s a continuous and well-balanced conversation between two participants in the meeting, the
device’s camera moves to conversation mode from the group view. Note that the following scenarios don’t
evoke conversation mode:
▪ One of the speakers talks too little or too much.
▪ Both speakers talk at the same time.
▪ More than two speakers talk while taking turns.
Conversation mode automatically ends when a third participant starts talking.
Related Links
Enable Conversation Mode on page 26
Presenter Mode
Presenter mode frames the main speaker in your meeting room and follows the speaker when the
speaker moves.
You can enable presenter mode for meetings where one person is the primary presenter or for distance
learning so the camera always shows the instructor. The camera zooms in to capture both the presenter
and the presentation background (for example, a large screen or a whiteboard) and follows the
presenter’s movement.
Presenter mode ends automatically in the following situations:
▪ Someone other than the speaker faces the device and starts talking.
▪ The presenter stops talking for a while.
▪ The presenter walks off camera.
To ensure the best performance of presenter mode, do the following:
▪ Place the device within 3 m (10 ft) of the speaker.
▪ Position the device so the camera is level with the speaker’s upper chest instead of eye level. This
enables the camera to capture most of the speaker’s body along with the presentation background.
If you position the camera at the speaker’s eye level, the device may be positioned too high to
capture all the content on the screen. If you position the camera lower than the speaker’s upper
chest, the speaker’s head may not appear in the camera view.

Using Poly Studio
Note: The Poly Studio device doesn’t support mixed types of audio and video input. If you connect it to
a computer over USB and Bluetooth at the same time, make sure that your application uses both

Poly Studio only supports one Bluetooth connection at a time, but you can connect it to a computer over
USB and to a phone over Bluetooth.
Procedure
1. On the remote control, long press Bluetooth to enable the paring mode.
The LED lights blink blue in the middle during the pairing process.
