Poly Studio G7500 Dubai — The Modular Codec for Rooms a Video Bar Cannot Handle
If you are an AV integrator specifying a complex boardroom project, or an IT director building a procurement case for a large-room deployment — this page is built for you. Multiple IP camera zones. Ceiling microphone tiles. Biamp, QSC, or Shure DSP integration. Crestron room control. Legacy Polycom peripheral compatibility. The G7500 is the platform that makes all of it possible from one codec, one Poly Lens management dashboard, one installation.
Not specifying a complex room? If you need a large room video bar for 12–25 people, the Poly Studio X72 is the right system. The G7500 is for rooms where the X72 is not enough.
When the Room Requires a Modular Codec — Not a Video Bar
The specification question is not "which video bar is biggest." It is whether the room's requirements can be met by an integrated system at all. A video bar integrates camera, microphone, speakers, and compute into a single unit — optimal for rooms where one well-positioned device covers everything. When the project brief includes multiple camera zones, IP ceiling microphone arrays, third-party DSP integration, or room automation control, the integrated architecture hits its physical limits. The G7500 is specified when the room design determines the peripheral layout — not the other way around.
The G7500 is a modular codec. It provides compute, video processing, and platform intelligence — Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms native on VideoOS 5.0. Every other component of the room system connects to it as a separate, independently positioned device: E70 cameras over the LLN IP network, IP ceiling microphone tiles flush-mounted in the ceiling grid, Biamp or QSC DSP processors via USB, Crestron or Extron room control via the TC10 REST API integration. The room design drives the specification. The G7500 accommodates it.
The Camera Goes Where the Room Needs It
Not where a video bar can reach. The E70 connects over IP — positioned anywhere the network reaches. A boardroom with a 15-metre table gets a camera at both ends. A training centre gets three cameras across three zones. A single codec manages all of them simultaneously.
The Microphone Covers the Full Table
IP ceiling microphones and IP table microphones position over each section of the table. Auto Mic Switching activates the array closest to the active speaker. The person at the far end sounds as close as the person at the front — because the microphone serving them is directly above them.
The Room Doesn't Change When You Upgrade
When the G7500 receives VideoOS 5.0, the cameras, microphones, and room control stay exactly where they are. The codec upgrades. Everything connected to it benefits. Backwards compatibility with legacy Polycom peripherals means the ceiling microphones that were installed in 2018 still work — the codec changes, not the room.
G7500 vs X72 — when each is the right answer
Both are HP Poly systems. Both run VideoOS 5.0. Both are Teams and Zoom certified. The question is room architecture.

What the G7500 Solves That No Video Bar Can
These use cases come from HP Poly's firmware release notes and training documentation — specific features combined in ways that solve specific boardroom problems. None of this appears on any competitor page in the UAE market.
Three Camera Zones. One Meeting. Zero Operators.
VideoOS 4.5.0 introduced support for three simultaneous IP cameras on a single G7500 codec. Three Studio E70 cameras connect over the building network — one covering the presentation area, one DirectorAI-tracking the main discussion table, one covering the rear breakout zone. The stationary people filter refines DirectorAI further: anyone sitting still at their laptop stays in frame but doesn't trigger camera rebalancing. Only active movement or speech activates camera switching.
Remote participants see whoever is speaking, in whatever zone they're speaking from. One codec. One Poly Lens entry. Three camera zones that behave as one intelligent system. The three separate video systems become one.
The Boardroom With AED 80,000 of Ceiling Microphones Worth Keeping
The contractor is wrong. The G7500 connects to existing Shure, Biamp, and Sennheiser ceiling microphones through the HP Poly Studio A2 Audio Bridge via XLR. The existing audio infrastructure stays in place — every cable, every ceiling panel, every amplifier. Only the Polycom codec gets replaced. The G7500 takes its position in the equipment rack. The existing microphones plug into the A2 Audio Bridge. VideoOS 5.0 then adds Multi-Mic Mode intelligence — the system switches between microphone arrays automatically as the discussion moves around the table.
The ceiling stays intact. The AED 80,000 audio investment is protected. Teams Rooms native from the first meeting after the codec swap.
The Room That Configures Itself When the Meeting Starts
VideoOS 4.5.0 added A/V room control to the TC10 touch controller, with native support for Crestron, QSC Q-sys, Extron, and Lightware. The G7500 becomes the integration point between the video conferencing system and the room automation system.
One tap — "Start Meeting" — and the G7500 triggers the Crestron system: presentation lighting activates, motorised blinds lower to eliminate glare, HVAC confirms occupied mode. The same TC10 that joins the Teams call configures the physical environment for the meeting. No separate panel. No separate button sequence. No forgotten blinds. The client sees a controlled, professional environment from the first second of every call.
The Person at the Far End Who Is Always Heard Poorly
This is a microphone physics problem. A single microphone array at the centre of the table has a pickup range that doesn't reach both ends of a 14-metre table equally. The G7500 supports Poly IP Ceiling Microphones — multiple arrays positioned directly above each section of the table, connected to the codec over the network.
VideoOS 4.6.1 introduced Multi-Mic Mode with Auto Mic Switching: the system monitors which array is picking up the strongest voice and switches automatically. When the managing director speaks at the head, the central array activates. When an analyst speaks at the far end, the array above them activates. Remote participants hear each person from the microphone closest to them. The 14-metre table sounds like a 3-metre table on every call. The London office stops asking people to repeat themselves.
The Glass-Wall Boardroom Where the Camera Sees the Whole Floor
DirectorAI Perimeter on the G7500 solves this — but with a G7500-specific capability that video bars don't fully implement. Because the G7500 connects to the E70 over IP, the perimeter can be configured with asymmetric left and right boundaries. If the trading floor is visible through the left wall but the right wall is solid, the perimeter zone adjusts asymmetrically — excluding the left corridor while preserving coverage of the right side of the room where additional participants may sit.
The perimeter is set once in TC10 Admin Settings. The live preview shows exactly which people are inside and outside the frame boundary as you draw it. The chairman's boardroom call shows only the boardroom. The trading floor background disappears permanently.
The DIFC Bank Where Every Device Must Stay Certified
SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) on the G7500 automates certificate management across the codec and all connected peripherals. When certificates approach expiry, renewal happens automatically through the SCEP server — no IT intervention, no calendar reminders, no compliance incidents. The G7500 now supports 3072-bit certificates through Poly Lens policy push — above the previous 2048-bit standard, meeting enhanced security requirements that regulated financial environments in DIFC and ADGM specify.
For a DIFC institution with twelve boardroom systems, each with connected peripherals — every certificate on every device stays current automatically. The compliance team's dashboard shows valid. IT receives no manual renewal tasks. The incident from last year does not repeat.
The Camera System Built Around the Room — Not the Other Way Around
The most common boardroom video problem in Dubai is not camera quality. It is camera position. A single camera at display height, placed at one end of a 12-metre table, physically cannot frame 30 people well. The G7500's camera architecture solves this at the infrastructure level — multiple cameras, positioned where the room needs them, connected to one codec over the IP network, managed by one DirectorAI instance.
Poly Studio EagleEye E70
The E70 is the G7500's primary camera for large room deployments. Dual 4K sensors — a 120-degree wide-angle covering the full room and a 70-degree telephoto tracking the active speaker. DirectorAI switches between them automatically without operator input. The wide lens shows the full table. The telephoto frames the person speaking. Remote participants see the right person at the right moment, in 4K, without anyone in the room touching a control.
The E70 connects to the G7500 via USB or over IP. IP connection eliminates USB cable length constraints — the camera positions anywhere the building network reaches. For a boardroom where the codec is rack-mounted in a service room and the camera needs to be at the far wall, IP connection is the only viable approach. USB would require an extender. IP requires a network point that already exists.
Three IP Cameras — One G7500
VideoOS 4.5.0 confirmed: a single G7500 codec in Microsoft Teams mode supports three simultaneous E70 cameras connected over IP. This is the feature that defines the G7500's position above the X72 in complex room deployments.
A training centre with a presentation zone, a central discussion area, and a rear breakout space uses one camera per zone. DirectorAI manages all three — switching based on voice activity and movement. When the presenter is speaking at the whiteboard, camera one activates. When discussion breaks out at the central table, camera two activates. When the rear group is addressed, camera three activates. Remote participants see the relevant zone automatically. No camera operator. No preset switching. No manual controls during a session.
The three cameras share one G7500 management entry in Poly Lens. One firmware update covers all three simultaneously. One maintenance responsibility. This capability does not exist on any X-series video bar.
Polycom EagleEye IV & Legacy Cameras
A G7500 deployment does not require new cameras. The G7500 accepts the Polycom EagleEye IV camera — both USB and HDCI connections. The EagleEye Director II connects via HDCI. The EagleEye Producer connects alongside the EagleEye IV. These are cameras that Dubai boardrooms have had installed and rack-mounted since 2012.
When a Polycom Group 700 fails and the organisation upgrades to the G7500, the existing EagleEye cameras stay in the ceiling bracket. The codec changes. The cameras stay. The cabling stays. The installation cost is the codec replacement plus configuration — not a full AV renovation. This backwards compatibility is documented in the firmware release notes and confirmed in every hardware compatibility table HP publishes.
Camera compatibility check before any G7500 deployment: WhatsApp us the existing camera model and how it connects (USB, HDCI, or IP). We confirm compatibility before any hardware is ordered — no wasted purchases, no on-site surprises. → WhatsApp camera compatibility check
The Microphone System That Knows Who Is Speaking
Most boardroom audio problems are not microphone quality problems. They are microphone position problems. One array at the centre of a long table cannot hear both ends equally. The G7500 is the only HP Poly system that supports multiple IP microphone arrays — positioned where the room requires them, switched automatically as the discussion moves.
Auto Mic Switching New
When multiple IP microphone arrays connect to the G7500 — table microphones, ceiling microphones, or a combination — the system monitors voice activity across every array simultaneously. The microphone array picking up the strongest, clearest signal from the active speaker activates automatically. Arrays covering zones where no one is speaking stay inactive. Remote participants hear the person who is speaking from the microphone directly above or in front of them. In a 30-person boardroom with ceiling arrays above each third of the table, every participant sounds as close as the person sitting next to the screen. This feature arrived in VideoOS 4.6.1 across G7500, G62, X72, and X52. On the G7500 and G62, it operates across IP ceiling microphone tiles and IP table microphones. On the X72 and X52, it operates with A2 Table Microphones and IP mics. The G7500 distinction is the combination of IP mic switching with legacy Polycom ceiling array support and three simultaneous IP cameras — that combination remains G7500 and G62 only.
HP Poly Studio A2 Audio Bridge New
The Studio A2 Audio Bridge connects standard XLR microphones to the G7500. The practical consequence for Dubai boardrooms: any professional microphone installation using XLR connectivity — Shure ceiling microphones, Sennheiser conference systems, Biamp audio networks — integrates directly with the G7500 through the A2 bridge. The existing microphone infrastructure stays in place. The G7500 codec replaces the Polycom codec in the rack. The audio cabling connects to the A2 bridge instead of the old codec. Multi-Mic Mode intelligence then applies to all connected arrays — whether they are HP Poly IP microphones or legacy XLR-connected professional microphones. The boardroom that cost AED 100,000 to install properly does not require another AED 100,000 to upgrade to Teams.
Poly IP Ceiling & Table Microphones
G7500-exclusive microphone options: Poly IP Ceiling Microphones and Poly IP Table Microphones connect to the codec over the IP network — not via USB or direct cable. Position them anywhere the network reaches. A ceiling microphone above the far end of a 14-metre table connects to the G7500 with a network cable, not with a 14-metre USB run. Auto Mic Switching coordinates all IP arrays with the local table arrays. Sound Reflection Reduction applies across all inputs — compensating for the marble floors and glass walls that make Dubai boardrooms look impressive and sound hollow.
Polycom Ceiling Microphone Arrays & SoundStructure
The G7500 is the only HP Poly system that accepts legacy Polycom ceiling microphone arrays through the Microphone IP Adapter. The Polycom SoundStructure audio system — a room audio processor deployed widely in UAE corporate boardrooms between 2010 and 2020 — connects to the G7500 through the Microphone IP Adapter. For a Dubai boardroom where Polycom ceiling arrays are embedded in acoustic ceiling panels and removing them would require panel replacement — the G7500 accepts them exactly as they are. This backwards compatibility is explicitly documented in HP Poly's supported peripheral tables and confirmed in firmware release notes going back to VideoOS 4.0.
The Boardroom That Configures Itself for Every Meeting
VideoOS 4.5.0 gave the G7500 and TC10 something that no previous version of Poly VideoOS offered: native control of building automation systems from the video conferencing touch controller. The TC10 becomes the single interface for the meeting room — starting the call, managing the display, and configuring the physical environment simultaneously.
TC10 Controls the Whole Room
From the TC10 screen, participants control lighting scenes, motorised blinds, HVAC settings, and display inputs — alongside standard call controls. The same screen that shows the Outlook calendar and joins Teams calls also manages the room's physical environment. HP Poly supports four room control platforms natively:
- Crestron — the most commonly installed building automation system in Dubai premium offices
- QSC Q-sys — professional audio and room control integration
- Extron — AV control system with DMP and DTP3 DSP support (added VideoOS 4.6.1)
- Lightware — matrix switching and signal distribution control
For Dubai boardrooms where Crestron manages lighting and climate — the video system that previously operated in isolation now triggers the environment automatically when a meeting starts.
What This Looks Like in Practice
A Business Bay executive boardroom with Crestron automation: motorised blackout blinds for presentations, three lighting scenes (ambient, presentation, meeting), HVAC occupancy mode. Previously managed from a separate Crestron touchpanel. Nobody ever used it correctly. The CEO's assistant manually adjusted everything before every client call.
With the G7500 and VideoOS 4.5.0: the TC10 presents two options when someone approaches the room — "Start Meeting" and "Presentation Mode." Tapping "Start Meeting" joins the Teams call, activates meeting lighting, lowers the blinds to the correct position for screen visibility, and signals HVAC that the room is occupied. One tap. One screen. One action that configures everything simultaneously. The CEO's assistant is no longer responsible for the room environment. The room is responsible for itself.

When the Room Already Has a Professional Audio System
The Dubai boardrooms and auditoriums fitted with premium audio during 2015–2022 often have standalone DSP (Digital Signal Processor) units managing room audio — Biamp, QSC, or Shure. The G7500 connects to all three over USB, integrating professional audio processing with video conferencing without replacing the existing audio infrastructure.
Biamp DSP (USB Audio Processors)
Biamp Tesira and Devio audio processing units connect to the G7500 via USB. The G7500 uses Biamp's audio processing for microphone management, echo cancellation, and speaker output — while DirectorAI handles camera tracking. For auditoriums with Biamp-managed distributed speaker systems, the G7500 codec connects to the existing Biamp infrastructure rather than adding parallel audio processing.
QSC Core Series
QSC Q-sys Core audio processors connect to the G7500 via USB for audio signal processing, and via the room control integration for AV control. For a training centre where QSC manages zone audio — the G7500 video system connects to the QSC processor and operates as part of the room's unified AV environment rather than as a separate system.
Shure IntelliMix P300
The Shure IntelliMix P300 audio conferencing processor connects to the G7500 via USB. For boardrooms where Shure's echo cancellation and noise reduction handles microphone processing — the G7500 receives clean, processed audio from the Shure unit. The Shure handles audio. The G7500 handles video, Teams/Zoom, and camera management. Two specialist systems doing what each does best.
Extron DMP / DTP3 (VideoOS 4.6.1)
Extron DMP and DTP3 digital signal processors gained full audio and HID mute sync with the G7500 in VideoOS 4.6.1. Mute state synchronises between the Extron DSP and the Teams Rooms system — when a participant mutes on the TC10, the DSP mutes. When the DSP mutes, Teams shows muted. One mute state across both systems. No confusion for participants about which mute is active.
HP Poly Studio A2 Audio Bridge
For rooms with XLR-connected microphones that don't use a standalone DSP — Shure or AKG ceiling microphones wired directly to the ceiling, Sennheiser conference systems — the Studio A2 Audio Bridge connects those XLR microphones to the G7500. Multi-Mic Mode and Auto Mic Switching then apply to the connected arrays.
G7500 vs Video Bar — DSP Compatibility
Biamp, QSC, and Shure DSP support also exists on the X72 and X52. What the G7500 exclusively adds is the combination of DSP integration with IP microphone arrays, Polycom legacy peripheral support, and three-camera management simultaneously. For rooms with complex audio installations, the G7500 is the only Poly system that integrates all layers at once.
The Peripheral Compatibility Table Every Boardroom Decision Needs
This table comes from HP Poly's official supported peripheral documentation and firmware release notes. The highlighted rows are G7500-exclusive — peripherals that no X-series video bar accepts. For any Dubai boardroom with existing Polycom infrastructure, this table determines whether the G7500 is the only viable upgrade path.

The Boardroom Nobody Has Explained Yet
Most Dubai boardrooms have a video conferencing system and an audio system. Two separate worlds, separately managed, separately failing. The G7500 — properly specified with Poly IP ceiling microphones, IP cameras, and the LLN network — is a single connected system where every component is made by the same manufacturer, managed from one dashboard, and designed to work together from the first meeting.
Nobody in the UAE market has explained this full picture to the buyer who needs it. Here it is.

The Speakers the G7500 Doesn't Include — And the DSPs That Bridge Them
The G7500 handles video, camera management, microphone intelligence, and conference call processing. What it does not include is a room speaker system — because premium boardrooms and auditoriums already have one. The G7500 connects to the room's existing professional audio processor and speaker infrastructure via USB. When connected, the DSP handles all audio output. The G7500's internal speaker processing steps aside completely and the DSP takes over.
HP Poly officially documents four third-party DSP platforms in the G7500 Administrator Guide and firmware release notes. These are not workarounds. They are tested, supported integrations documented by HP.
Biamp Tesira — The Most Common Premium Boardroom DSP in Dubai
Biamp Tesira and Devio audio processors are the most frequently specified DSPs in UAE corporate boardrooms and auditoriums. For buildings where Biamp already manages ceiling speakers, zone audio, and distributed amplification — the G7500 connects via USB-A or USB-C. Once connected, Biamp handles all room audio output. The G7500 receives video and call management. Biamp handles audio processing and speaker distribution.
Supported Biamp products: TesiraForte Device Family and Devio Device Family. Setup documentation is available from both HP Poly and Biamp. The G7500 automatically disables its internal echo cancellation when Biamp is connected — Biamp's superior AEC handles it instead.
QSC Q-SYS — Audio, Room Control, and Video in One Unified Platform
QSC Q-SYS is unique in the G7500 ecosystem because it serves two roles simultaneously: audio DSP via USB and room control via the TC10 A/V integration. The G7500 connects to Q-SYS for audio processing while the TC10 also triggers Q-SYS for lighting, display, and environment control. For a boardroom where QSC manages both the speaker system and the room automation, one platform handles both functions and both connect to the G7500 through separate channels.
Supported Q-SYS products: Q-SYS Core 110f · Q-SYS I/O USB Bridge · Q-SYS NV-32-H · Q-SYS Core Nano · Q-SYS Core 8 Flex. Connect via USB-A or USB-C port on the G7500. Q-SYS processes all audio once connected — speakers must be connected to Q-SYS, not directly to the G7500.
Shure IntelliMix P300 — When Shure Microphones Already Serve the Room
The Shure IntelliMix P300 is the audio conferencing processor of choice for rooms that already run Shure microphones. For a Dubai boardroom where Shure ceiling microphones feed into the P300 for advanced echo cancellation and noise suppression — the G7500 connects to the P300 via USB. Shure handles the complete audio processing chain. The G7500 handles the video, Teams/Zoom call management, and camera control.
The Shure IntelliMix P300 is directly documented in the HP Poly G7500 Administrator Guide under its own dedicated section — it is not a generic USB audio device. It is a named, tested integration. For boardrooms with existing Shure installations, this is the documented path to G7500 integration without touching the microphone or speaker infrastructure.
Extron DMP & DTP3 — Full Audio + Mute Synchronisation
VideoOS 4.6.1 (November 2025) added full audio and HID mute sync between the G7500 and Extron DMP and DTP3 digital signal processors. Before this firmware, Extron DSPs connected for audio but mute state was not synchronised — a participant could mute on the TC10 while the Extron DSP remained unmuted, causing confusion. VideoOS 4.6.1 resolved this: mute state is now fully synchronised in both directions.
Supported Extron products: Extron DMP Series and Extron DTP3 Digital Signal Processors. Extron also serves as the room control platform for the TC10 A/V integration — meaning Extron-managed rooms can have both audio DSP integration and room control through the same platform. One vendor. Two functions.
What Happens When a DSP Is Connected
When any of these DSPs connects to the G7500 via USB, the system behaves the same way: the DSP takes over all audio processing and speaker output. The G7500 automatically disables its internal echo cancellation (the DSP handles it with superior performance). Speakers must be connected to the DSP — not directly to the G7500. The G7500 focuses entirely on video, camera management, Teams/Zoom call processing, and Poly Lens device management. The DSP focuses entirely on room audio. Two specialist systems doing what each does best — connected by a single USB cable.

What IT Gets When They Deploy the G7500
A G7500 boardroom deployment is not a one-time installation event. It is an ongoing managed asset. Poly Lens ensures that the IT team managing 30 boardroom systems across a Dubai corporate estate can do so from a single browser tab — without visiting any room physically.
Poly Lens — Free With Every G7500
Firmware push to every connected device simultaneously. Camera health status. Microphone performance scores. Call quality per session. Room usage analytics — how often the boardroom is used, peak hours, average call duration. SCEP certificate management. All from one cloud dashboard. No physical visits for routine management. Included at no additional cost.
Camera Auto-Recovery (VideoOS 4.6.1)
A new automatic camera stream recovery mechanism detects E70 camera errors and recovers the stream within seconds — without IT intervention. If automatic recovery fails, a manual option (mute/unmute camera or swap tracking modes) resolves the issue from the TC10. For a boardroom mid-call where a camera stream previously required an IT visit to recover — this firmware capability protects the meeting without escalation.
Zero-Touch Deployment
Configure the complete G7500 deployment profile in Poly Lens before the hardware arrives on site — Teams resource account, camera presets, microphone configuration, DirectorAI Perimeter zones, A/V room control triggers, SCEP certificates. The G7500 downloads the profile automatically on first network connection. IT never visits the boardroom for initial setup. The system is ready when the first meeting is booked.
Synchronized admin password — VideoOS 4.6.2: All paired devices and peripherals connected to a G7500 — TC10 controllers, cameras, microphone adapters — now share a single synchronised admin password managed through Poly Lens. In a boardroom with four TC10 controllers and multiple connected peripherals, one password change in Poly Lens propagates to every device simultaneously. Individual device credential management across 12-device setups is eliminated.
The Boardroom Investment Protected — Platform and Lifecycle
The 2032 Lifecycle Commitment
The G7500 running VideoOS 5.0 on Android 13 carries HP Poly's documented lifecycle roadmap announced at ISE Barcelona 2026: Android 17 delivery in 2028, full device support through 2032. A G7500 boardroom deployment in 2026 is supported for a minimum of six years. The CFO who asks "when is the next hardware refresh conversation?" has the answer: 2032, in writing, from a published HP roadmap.
A G7500 boardroom deployment represents AED 60,000–200,000 in hardware, installation, and room integration. The platform decision — Teams or Zoom — should not determine whether that investment is protected when the organisation's platform preference changes.
The G7500 running VideoOS 5.0 is certified for both Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms natively. Switching platforms is a software reconfiguration and a licence change — approximately 30 minutes. The cameras, microphones, DSP connections, Crestron integration, and TC10 controllers remain exactly as configured. The codec switches the platform it runs. Nothing else changes.
For a Dubai regional headquarters watching a parent company platform standardisation develop — or an organisation where different business units have standardised on different platforms — the G7500's platform flexibility means the boardroom hardware serves any platform decision without a replacement cycle.
G7500 Configurations for Dubai Boardrooms
Every G7500 deployment in Dubai is configured for the specific room — not from a standard box. These three configurations cover the most common boardroom scenarios. All prices are in AED and include hardware supply. Installation, commissioning, and Teams/Zoom configuration are quoted per site following a survey.
Standard Boardroom
20–30 people. Single E70 camera. Two TC10 controllers (head and foot of table). IP table microphones. Teams or Zoom Rooms. The boardroom that replaces a Polycom Group 700 or HDX 9000 in the same configuration with all capabilities upgraded.
Multi-Camera Boardroom
Executive boardroom or multi-zone conference facility. Two E70 cameras over IP. IP ceiling microphone arrays. Four TC10 controllers. Crestron or QSC A/V control integration. The configuration for rooms where one camera cannot cover everything and the physical environment needs to respond to the meeting.
Legacy Migration
Polycom Group 700 or HDX replacement where existing cameras and microphones stay in place. G7500 codec replaces the Polycom codec. Existing EagleEye cameras connect via their original HDCI or USB connections. Existing ceiling microphone arrays connect via Microphone IP Adapter. Investment protected. Teams Rooms native from day one.
