Poly Studio G62 Dubai — The Modular Codec for Rooms That Need More Than a Video Bar
The brief says ceiling microphones. No hardware on the table. Three camera positions. Biamp managing the speakers. The room is too complex for a video bar and doesn't have a single legacy Polycom component that needs preserving. The G62 is exactly what this room requires — and nothing more than what it requires.
Who this page is for: AV integrators mid-specification and IT managers building a procurement case. The G62 sits between the X72 (all-in-one video bar) and the G7500 (flagship modular codec). If you need to understand where G62 fits, what it connects to, when to specify it over the G7500, and what a configured system costs in AED — this page covers all of it. If you are looking for a standard conference room system for under 12 people, the HP Poly video conferencing page is the right starting point.
When to Specify the G62. When to Specify the G7500.
The most common specification error in Dubai large room deployments is recommending the G7500 for rooms that don't need what makes the G7500 worth its cost. The G62 runs the same VideoOS 5.0. It supports the same IP ceiling microphones, the same three IP cameras in Teams mode, the same Biamp and QSC DSP integration, the same Crestron room control from the TC10. The price difference between the two codecs alone is significant — and when the room doesn't need what separates them, that difference is waste.
Here is what separates them. Read the right column carefully before specifying either.

The decision in one question: Does the room have existing Polycom cameras (HDCI), Polycom ceiling microphone arrays, or SoundStructure — and are they worth keeping? If yes, G7500 is the only option. If no, G62 delivers the same IP ceiling mic, multi-camera, DSP, and room control capability at a lower codec cost. → WhatsApp the room details — we confirm the right spec
Poly Studio G62 — What the Codec Contains and What It Connects To
The G62 is a compact modular codec — the compute and processing unit that sits behind the display, in a rack, or magnetically mounted under a table. It has no camera, no microphone, and no speaker of its own. Everything connects to it. That separation is exactly the point: cameras position where the room demands them, microphones sit in the ceiling where they belong, and the codec stays out of sight. What follows is the complete port and peripheral specification sourced from HP official documentation.
PoE+ LAN — RJ-45
Corporate network connection. Powers the entire codec via PoE+ — IEEE 802.3at/bt class 4, 5, or 6. One cable from the network switch does everything: network access and power. No power brick. No separate power cable.
LLN — RJ-45 (unpowered)
Connects IP cameras and IP microphones via the link-local network. Does not provide power — a Netgear AV Line M4250 GSM4210PD PoE switch is required to power connected IP peripherals. Maximum cable run per device: 91 metres CAT5e/6/7 STP.
HDMI-out 1 — 2.0
Primary monitor output. Far-side video. Drives up to 4K UHD. The main display in any standard G62 room configuration.
HDMI-out 2 — 2.0
Second monitor output. Content sharing display or meeting roster in dual-screen configurations. In Zoom Rooms mode, a third HDMI display can be added for three simultaneous screen outputs.
HDMI-in — 2.0
Wired content source or HDMI camera input. Laptop presentations over HDMI, HDMI-connected PTZ cameras, or any HDMI signal source connect here.
USB-C — 5Gbps · DisplayPort Alt Mode
The port that makes the G62 unique. In Device Mode, a Windows or macOS laptop connects via USB-C and the room's cameras, microphones, and speakers become the laptop's peripherals. Also supports DisplayPort Alt Mode video input at 4K 30Hz.
USB-A — 5Gbps (USB 3.0)
Two USB-A ports connect USB cameras or USB audio DSP processors. Biamp, QSC Core Series, and Shure IntelliMix P300 connect here. E70 and E60 cameras also connect via USB-A when not using the LLN IP connection.
3.5mm In + 3.5mm Out
Line-level analog input for a microphone source. Line-level analog output for an amplifier or passive speaker. Used when DSP integration via USB is not in the specification — or as a secondary analog output alongside the primary USB DSP.

One USB-C Cable. The Entire Room Becomes Your Laptop's Audio and Video.
Every G62 deployed in a room supports Device Mode natively. Connect a Windows or macOS laptop to the USB-C port on the G62 and the room's entire peripheral infrastructure — ceiling microphones, E70 cameras, room speakers — appear on the laptop as USB audio and video devices. The laptop's video conferencing application picks them up automatically: Webex, Google Meet, Zoom from a personal account, Microsoft Teams with a personal or guest account. Whatever the laptop is running, the room's hardware serves it.
This is not screen mirroring. This is full hardware handoff. The room becomes the laptop's peripheral set. One cable. No configuration required on the laptop side.
The Client Who Brings Their Own Laptop
One USB-C cable from the G62 to the client's laptop. Google Meet on the laptop detects the G62's cameras and ceiling microphones as USB peripherals and selects them automatically. The E70 camera frames the room. The IP ceiling tiles pick up every voice around the table. The room's display shows the far side. The client runs their Google Meet call from their laptop — using a Teams-certified room's full hardware. No guest account required. No Teams configuration needed.
One Room, Two Use Cases, One Codec
In native Teams Rooms mode, the G62 runs all standard internal meetings from the TC10 — one-touch join, calendar, room booking panel. When the Webex call comes in, the IT manager's laptop connects via USB-C. The same ceiling microphones, the same cameras, the same room speakers serve the Webex call — with full G62 hardware quality. The laptop disconnects after the call and the room returns to Teams Rooms mode immediately. No rebooking. No reconfiguration. No separate laptop stand.
Content sharing in Device Mode: The USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode — the laptop's screen can also be displayed on the room's monitors simultaneously alongside the video call. Full content sharing from the laptop, full room audio and video, one cable. → Ask us about Device Mode deployments
What a Fully Specified G62 Room System Contains
The G62 codec ships with an Ethernet cable and an HDMI cable. Everything else is specified separately — cameras, microphones, controllers, the network switch. That is intentional: every room is different, and a modular system lets the specification match the room rather than the other way around. This section covers the components that matter most and what to know before you specify them.
The Right Camera for Most G62 Rooms
Dual 4K 20MP sensors — 120° wide-angle covering the full room, 70° telephoto tracking the active speaker. DirectorAI switches between them automatically based on voice activity. Connects to the G62 via LLN IP over the Netgear switch, or directly via USB-A. Up to 3 E70 cameras connect simultaneously in Teams mode via LLN (VideoOS 4.5).
Maximum 2 E70 via USB · or up to 3 via LLN in Teams mode · motorised privacy shutter
For Secondary Camera Positions That Don't Need Dual-Lens
Single-lens 4K camera — the practical choice for secondary camera zones in multi-zone deployments. Frame Presenter tracking on the E60 physically follows a presenter moving across a training room floor. USB or IP connection. A typical three-zone training room: one E70 at the primary presenter position, two E60 units covering the discussion areas.
Maximum 2 E60 via USB · Frame Presenter tracking · DirectorAI
No Table Hardware. No Visible Microphone.
Flush-mount unit that sits inside a standard 600×600mm acoustic ceiling grid tile — invisible from below. Each tile connects via a single Ethernet cable (50ft plenum-rated cable included, 91m maximum run) to the Netgear GSM4210PD switch, then to the G62 LLN port. Acoustic Fence creates a virtual audio boundary directly below the tile. NoiseBlockAI and AEC run on the G62 codec across all tiles. Up to 3 IP ceiling or table microphones per G62.

The Switch HP Poly Names by Model in the Admin Guide
HP Poly's G62 User Guide specifically names the Netgear M4250-9G1F-PoE+ (GSM4210PD) as the supported AV Ethernet switch for connecting IP peripherals to the G62 LLN port. Because the G62 LLN port is unpowered, the Netgear switch is mandatory for any multi-peripheral deployment — it provides both LLN data and PoE+ power to cameras and microphones from one device.
8× 1G PoE+ ports + 1× SFP · HP Poly officially recommended by model · required for G62 multi-peripheral
In-Room Control and Outside-Door Booking Panel
TC10 connects to the G62 via the corporate network — not the LLN port. One or more TC10 units can pair to a single G62. In-room: calendar, one-touch join, camera presets, DirectorAI Perimeter setup, Crestron/QSC room control triggers. Outside the door: Microsoft Teams Panel mode with room availability LED visible from distance. Note — connect TC10 to the corporate LAN, never to the LLN switch.
Multiple TC10 per G62 · Teams Panel mode · must be on TC firmware 6.0 or later
Table Microphones Without the IP Infrastructure
The A2 Audio Bridge connects to the G62 via Ethernet and powers a chain of A2 Table Microphones over the A2B proprietary bus. The A2 Table Mics are daisy-chainable, magnetically mount under or along the table edge, and support NoiseBlockAI with extended pickup range of up to 4.3 metres per mic. G62 supports up to 8 A2 Table Mics. The A2 ecosystem is an alternative to IP ceiling tiles for rooms where ceiling installation is not feasible.
Not compatible with G7500 — A2 is G62, X72, X52, X32 only
