Introducing People Framing on Studio X70 and Studio E70 (Preview Only)

Poly Studio X70 systems and Studio E70 cameras support the new people framing feature. When you enable people framing, the camera identifies individuals in a conference and provides personally framed views for six or fewer participants. If the camera detects more than six people, the camera places all participants in a single frame.

People framing is a preview feature. Preview features are fully tested and supported features that Poly continues to develop in alignment with customer feedback.

To provide feedback, use one of the following options:

In Poly Lens Desktop (v 1.1.18 or later), select Feedback.
Go to the Poly Lens Feedback Portal (for Poly Studio X70 and Studio E70 only), and fill out the questionnaire.

Enable People Framing Mode

Enable people framing mode to track and frame meeting participants in up to six individual frames.

Log in to the system web interface.
Go to Audio / Video>Video Inputs>Poly Studio E70.
From the Tracking Mode drop-down menu, select People Framing (Preview).

Disabling HDMI Auto-Start in Poly Video Mode

Poly VideoOS 3.12.0 introduces the option to disable HDMI auto-start in Poly Video Mode. When you disable HDMI auto-start, the system doesn’t automatically display content when you connect an active HDMI source. Choose when to start displaying content by selecting Content from the user interface.

Support for Device Mode on Studio X70

Poly VideoOS 3.12.0 provides support for Device Mode on Studio X70. Device Mode enables you to use the Studio X70’s camera, microphones, and speakers as peripherals from a computer.

To enable this option, set your system provider as Device Mode or initiate Device Mode from Poly Video Mode or a partner application.

Support for Poly IR Receiver and IR Remote Control

With the Poly IR Receiver connected to the system, you can control the system using a Poly IR remote control. The IR Receiver connects to the system’s USB port and supports no radio and standard G7500 and Studio X series systems.

The Poly IR remote control supports Poly Video mode. IR remote control support when using partner applications may be limited.

The Poly IR receiver supports the Extron USB Extender with up to a 100 meter long CAT5e cable. For more information see the Extron USB Extender Plus Series User Guide.

For more information on setting up and using the Poly IR Receiver, see the Poly IR Receiver Quick Start Guide located at Poly Support .
