The new line-up of Poly Studio Kits, offers premium audio and video for any room size, featuring Poly DirectorAI technology.

The solutions are designed to provide a consistent experience for all participants with pro-grade audio, video and Poly DirectorAI technology, ultimately fuelling equitable collaboration experiences, the company states.

They provide an optimised room view as well as speaker tracking and framing technology, and can be paired with new Dell or Lenovo conferencing PCs.

Poly ANZ Andy Hurt, MD, says, "Meetings are happening everywhere from conference rooms to personal workspaces and everything in between.

"People crave equitable and consistent video meeting experiences no matter where they are. Poly DirectorAI technology intelligently frames in-conference room meeting participants so anyone not in the room can easily track the conversation.

Microsoft Corporation senior director of Microsoft Teams Devices Partner Engineering and Certification, Albert Kooiman, says, "Today's workplace needs have changed, and Microsoft Teams Rooms is introducing inclusive collaboration experiences through concepts like front row.

"The new line-up of Poly Room Solutions for Teams Rooms brings users to the forefront of the future of meetings with optimised room views, plus speaker tracking and framing for a more equitable and dynamic meeting experience.

According to the company, oftentimes conference room participants either appear small and are difficult to hear, or the person close to the camera looks fine while the person sitting at the far end of the table looks too small. This leads to other meeting participants finding the experience to be inequitable, uninviting, or disengaging.
