What is the Studio V12?
The Poly Studio V12 is a compact USB video bar for small rooms. It has the same 20 MP 4K, 120° camera as the Studio X32, but no onboard OS. It connects to a laptop (BYOD) or to a room PC/Room Compute over USB-C and works as a plug-and-play UVC camera and speakerphone.
It has four MEMS microphones (about 15 ft pickup), 2 x 5 W stereo speakers, DirectorAI framing and NoiseBlockAI/Acoustic Fence. A Phoenix connector allows mic expansion, and the device is managed through Poly Lens.
Note that the base SKU ships without a power supply. Order the USB-C 65W adapter kit or use a PoE++ source. The V12 is a step up from the Studio R30 in camera resolution and audio.
