A Permanent Small Room Solution — Powered by the Network Cable
The HP Poly Studio X32 sits in an interesting position in the Poly range. It’s an all-in-one video bar like the X52 and X70 — camera, microphones, and speakers in one unit, running native cloud video apps — but it’s designed and priced for small rooms rather than large ones. And it has one feature that separates it from the R30: it’s powered over Ethernet.
PoE++ Class 6 means the X32 draws power through the same network cable that connects it to the building infrastructure. No power adapter, no extra cable run to a power outlet, no cable management headache. For rooms being purpose-built or retrofitted as permanent meeting spaces, this simplifies installation significantly — one cable does everything.
The camera runs 4K at 20 megapixels with a 120° field of view — wider than the X52 because small rooms need full coverage without repositioning. DirectorAI handles framing automatically: Group mode for the table, Speaker mode for the active voice. Four MEMS microphones cover the room up to 4.57 metres with NoiseBlockAI filtering background noise continuously.
Like the rest of the X series, the X32 runs native cloud video apps — Teams, Zoom, and others — without a laptop or separate compute device. It’s a self-contained room solution, not a USB peripheral. Poly Lens handles remote management. And it’s made from at least 50% recycled plastics with paper-based packaging — relevant for organisations with environmental procurement requirements.
Everyone Seen and Heard — Even in a Small Room

The X32 runs 4K at 20MP across a 120° field of view, so a small meeting room is fully covered from the moment the call starts. DirectorAI adjusts framing continuously — Group mode keeps everyone at the table in shot; Speaker mode follows whoever is talking. For hybrid teams where the remote participants matter as much as the people in the room, this means no one is cropped out, no one is a small face in the corner of a wide shot.

One-Touch Join — Native Apps, No Laptop Required

The X32 runs Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other cloud video platforms natively via Poly VideoOS — it’s a self-contained room system, not a USB peripheral that needs a laptop to function. One-touch join means starting a scheduled meeting is a single tap on the touch controller. For organisations standardising on Teams or Zoom rooms, the X32 delivers that experience in a small room form factor at a fraction of the cost of larger systems.
Built Responsibly — 50% Recycled Plastics, Paper-Based Packaging

The X32 is made from at least 50% recycled plastics and ships in paper-based packaging. For organisations with sustainability reporting requirements, EPEAT purchasing policies, or environmental commitments, this is a meaningful distinction — most video bars don’t meet this standard. It’s also the same device, same performance, same warranty. The sustainability comes without compromise.
PoE++ Powered — One Cable, No Power Outlet Needed

The X32 draws power through the Ethernet cable via PoE++ Class 6. No separate power adapter, no cable run to a power outlet at the camera location — the network connection does everything. For rooms being built or retrofitted as permanent meeting spaces, this simplifies installation considerably and keeps cable management clean. An optional PoE++ 65W injector is available if the existing switch doesn’t support PoE++.
Four Microphones, NoiseBlockAI — Audio That Works in Real Offices

Four MEMS microphones cover the room up to 4.57 metres with NoiseBlockAI filtering background noise continuously. For small rooms in open-plan offices — which is most of them — this means the meeting audio stays clean regardless of what’s happening outside the room. Stereo speakers return clear audio from remote participants without the hollow sound of a standard speakerphone.
