Pete Kolak, who manages the collaboration systems for a large financial services company in California, was pulling his hair out deploying conference room systems. \u201cOur firm was a very heavy user of videoconferencing technologies \u2013 even before the pandemic,<\/em>\u201d he explained. \u201cIt would take us two to three days to install a medium-sized video conference room<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n No matter which conference or huddle room products Pete selected, it was always a challenge to wrestle with the multiple cables and\/or cable harnesses all around the room connecting various components. He and his team had to closely monitor installation firms to ensure they complied with his organization\u2019s aesthetic requirements. Sometimes this involved ordering custom-made shorter cables. However, even then, they often needed to bunch up the excess behind displays in an attempt to make the equipment look as professional as possible. The excess hidden wires often made troubleshooting the systems very difficult. Pete and his team looked around for newer, less-expensive room solutions, but they were often disappointed because many options were not designed for use in a conference room.<\/p>\n When Pete evaluated the Poly Studio<\/a><\/span> X Family of collaboration systems, the improvement \u2013 in his words \u2013 was \u201cdramatic<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By putting all of the needed components (cameras, speakers, microphones, codecs, processors, and a ton of very intelligent production skills) into a single bar, his room installation projects went down from two to three days <\/em>to two to three hours<\/em>. And that mess of cables \u2013 gone. Not only were the Poly Studio<\/a><\/span> X systems easier to install, but their embedded intelligence \u2013 such as NoiseBlock AI and automatic camera framing and tracking \u2013 meant they also performed better and faster than prior available systems.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, the reason Pete continues to install these Poly Studio X systems at his company because of Poly\u2019s commitment to innovation. He appreciates that Poly came to market much more rapidly than many competitors and that we continue to incorporate better and more rapid features than any other device out there.<\/p>\n Pete and his team know that Poly\u2019s EPTZ (electronic pan-tilt-zoom)<\/em> technology captures conference participants beautifully \u2013 without motors or distraction. and best of all, the software and hardware will only continue to improve with every update to Poly OS. Now, they can\u2019t imagine installing a system with a mechanical camera motor that would surely distract the participants with its movements and disrupt the room\u2019s environment.<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to hear all this in Pete\u2019s own words, watch the video below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
