The Video Bar Built for Your Biggest Meeting Rooms
Most video bars are designed for small to medium rooms — a huddle space, a focus room, a six-person meeting room. The HP Poly Studio X72 is built for the rooms those products can’t handle: large boardrooms, training rooms, executive suites, and conference spaces where 15 to 20 people might be seated around a table that stretches the length of the room.
The dual camera design is the core of it. Two independent 4K sensors — one at 70° for tighter, more focused shots and one at 120° for wide room coverage — give DirectorAI the raw material to make intelligent framing decisions in real time. When someone at the far end of the table speaks, the system switches to the appropriate camera, reframes, and zooms without anyone pressing anything. Remote participants see a broadcast-quality shot rather than a static wide view where faces are too small to read.
The audio is equally matched to the room size. Second-order gradient microphones are a more sophisticated design than the standard MEMS arrays you find in most video bars — they’re better at isolating the direction of a voice and rejecting room noise from other directions. Combined with NoiseBlockAI and a pickup range of 7.6 metres, the X72 can handle a large room without expansion microphones in most configurations.
For IT and AV teams, the X72 is designed to be managed at scale. HP Poly Lens provides remote monitoring, configuration, and firmware updates across every device in the organisation. The electronic privacy shutter is a hardware-level guarantee rather than a software toggle — important for organisations with security or compliance requirements. The TC10 touch controller ships in the box and gives room users a clean, simple interface without needing to touch a laptop or personal device.
The X72 runs Poly VideoOS natively and supports Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and most enterprise video platforms — so it fits into whatever environment the organisation already runs, and keeps working as platforms evolve.
Dual 4K Cameras — Full Room Coverage at 70° and 120° FOV
The X72 runs two independent 4K cameras simultaneously — one at 70° for focused, close-up shots and one at 120° for full room coverage. At 20 megapixels total, the image quality holds up on large displays and dual-screen setups. DirectorAI automatically decides which camera and framing mode is most appropriate based on who is speaking and where they are in the room, so remote participants always see the right shot without anyone touching a controller.
Key Features
- Dual 4K cameras — 70° and 120° FOV — two independent 4K sensors at 20MP total; covers close-up and wide-room simultaneously so DirectorAI always has the right shot available
- DirectorAI intelligent framing — Group, Speaker, and Perimeter modes; automatically switches camera and adjusts framing based on who is speaking and where they are in the room
- Second-order gradient microphones — 7.62m (25ft) pickup range; significantly better directional noise rejection than standard MEMS arrays; built for large rooms without expansion mics
- NoiseBlockAI — AI and machine learning continuously separates speech from background noise; remote participants hear clear audio even in acoustically challenging rooms
- 100W stereo speaker system — dual bass ports, aluminium cone tweeters; fills a large boardroom without sounding like a speakerphone
- Electronic privacy shutter — hardware-level camera privacy; physical guarantee the camera is off, not just a software setting
- Native platform support — Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and major enterprise video platforms via Poly VideoOS; no mode switching or additional hardware
- HP Poly Lens remote management — IT administrators manage firmware, configuration, analytics, and uptime monitoring across all devices from a single cloud dashboard
- TC10 touch controller included — 10.1″ PoE-powered touch interface; clean room-user experience for joining calls and managing the room
- Expandable — supports Poly Studio E360, E60, and E70 cameras plus Poly Studio Table Microphone for rooms that need additional coverage
NoiseBlockAI and Second-Order Microphones — Audio Built for Large Rooms
The X72 uses a combination of MEMS and second-order gradient microphones — a design that picks up voices from up to 7.6 metres with significantly better rejection of room noise than standard mic arrays. NoiseBlockAI runs continuously, using machine learning to separate voice from background noise in real time. The result is that remote participants hear clear speech even in a room with hard surfaces, HVAC, or background movement — without anyone needing to manage mute buttons.
Works With Every Platform — Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Beyond
The X72 runs Poly VideoOS natively and supports Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and most major video platforms without mode switching or additional hardware. For organisations running mixed environments — some staff on Teams, others on Zoom or Google Meet — the X72 handles all of them from the same device. The TC10 touch controller ships with the A4LZ8AA bundle, giving users a clean, purpose-built interface for joining calls, adjusting camera presets, and managing the room without touching a laptop.
DirectorAI, Privacy Shutter, and Poly Lens — Enterprise-Ready Out of the Box
DirectorAI handles intelligent framing across the dual cameras — Group mode keeps everyone in frame, Speaker mode follows the active voice, and Perimeter mode respects a defined boundary so content outside the meeting zone isn’t captured. A built-in electronic privacy shutter provides a physical guarantee the camera is off when not in use. HP Poly Lens gives IT administrators remote management, firmware updates, usage analytics, and uptime monitoring across every device in the organisation from a single dashboard.
