Poly G7500 – Video System with EagleEye IV 12x GSA/TAA Compliant

Product Overview

The Poly G7500 EagleEye IV 12x GSA/TAA system (842T5AA#ABA) is the government-procurement configuration of the G7500 modular room platform, bundling the 4K UHD codec, a 12x optical zoom PTZ camera, a Poly TC8 touch controller, and a Poly IP tabletop microphone under one contract line item. The GSA/TAA build is what makes it purchasable on a federal schedule: Trade Agreements Act compliance is a condition of award on most federal IT solicitations, and this part number is sourced to meet it. Functionally it is the same modular codec used in commercial rooms, certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom with standards-based H.323 and SIP calling for existing agency video infrastructure. Specify this SKU for briefing rooms, command conference rooms, and multi-agency meeting spaces.

Product Description

For a government AV buyer the compliance question comes before the technical one. The Trade Agreements Act limits federal purchases to products manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country, and GSA schedule contracts carry that restriction through to the order. The 842T5AA#ABA part number is the G7500 with EagleEye IV 12x built to satisfy that requirement, so it can be cited directly on a solicitation without a waiver or a substitution request. This is a fully wireless-capable build; facilities that must have radios physically absent should specify the No Radio variant instead, and programs requiring DoD interoperability testing should specify the JITC-certified variant.

The technical package is sized for a real briefing room. The codec encodes and decodes with H.264 AVC, H.264 High Profile, and H.265, delivering people video up to 4K at 30 fps and content input and output up to UHD 3840 x 2160 at 5 to 60 fps across two HDMI outputs, so far-end participants and shared material occupy separate displays. The EagleEye IV camera connects over the supplied HDCI cable and provides 1080p video with 12x optical zoom plus pan and tilt, which gives usable framing at the far end of a long committee table without digital cropping. The bundled Poly IP tabletop microphone connects over standard Ethernet and draws PoE+ from one of the codec's three dedicated 10/100/1G LAN ports; two more arrays can be added on the remaining ports, each covering roughly 20 ft. of pickup.

Security and integration are what get the system through a network review. Media encryption uses AES-128 and AES-256 with H.235.6, and management interfaces run over TLS 1.0 through 1.2 with authenticated administrative access. The codec exposes RS-232 and a REST API for third-party control processors, accepts up to three HDMI or USB cameras with switching from the touch interface, and supports USB device mode for BYOM use. HP Poly Lens handles fleet configuration and firmware across facilities. Common companion items on the same requisition are the Poly EagleEye IV camera mounting bracket for display or wall mounting, a Poly IP ceiling microphone array where table clutter is not acceptable, and a spare Poly TC8 touch controller. Smaller government spaces that do not warrant a modular build are often served by the Poly Studio G62 GSA/TAA system.

Key Features

• GSA/TAA Compliant Build — The 842T5AA part number is sourced to meet Trade Agreements Act requirements, so it can be cited on a federal solicitation without a waiver.
• Complete Room Bundle — Codec, EagleEye IV 12x camera, TC8 touch controller, and IP tabletop microphone arrive under one part number and one contract line item.
• 12x Optical Zoom PTZ Camera — True optical zoom with pan and tilt frames a speaker at the far end of a long committee table without digital cropping.
• 4K UHD Modular Codec — H.264 AVC, H.264 High Profile, and H.265 deliver people video up to 4K at 30 fps and content up to 3840 x 2160.
• Included TC8 Touch Controller — An 8-inch PoE tabletop panel provides one-touch join and in-room control, so briefing rooms do not depend on a handheld remote.
• PoE+ IP Microphone Ports — Three dedicated LAN ports power up to three IP microphone arrays over standard Ethernet, each covering roughly 20 ft. of pickup range.
• AES-256 Media Encryption — AES-128 and AES-256 with H.235.6 and TLS 1.0 through 1.2 support the security review that precedes placement on an agency network.
• Standards-Based Interoperability — H.323 and SIP calling at up to 6 Mbps registers the room to existing agency gatekeepers, registrars, and bridges.
• Control System Integration — RS-232 and a REST API let a third-party control processor drive the codec inside a larger integrated AV system.
• Poly Lens Fleet Management — Cloud configuration and firmware distribution keep a multi-facility rollout on one baseline without a technician visiting each room.

Typical Applications

• Government space
• Conference room
• Boardroom
• Training room
• All-hands room
• Multi-purpose room
• Commercial meeting space

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does GSA/TAA compliant mean on this part number?
The Trade Agreements Act restricts federal purchases to products manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country, and GSA schedule contracts carry that restriction to the order. The 842T5AA#ABA configuration is built to satisfy it, so a contracting officer can cite this SKU directly rather than pursuing a waiver or substitution.

How does this differ from the JITC and No Radio variants?
All three share the same codec, camera, controller, and microphone. This SKU is the standard GSA/TAA build with wireless enabled. The JITC-certified variant adds Joint Interoperability Test Command certification for DoD networks. The No Radio variant is supplied without operable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for facilities that prohibit RF emitters. Choose based on the facility's accreditation requirement, not on the video specification.

Which components are included?
The bundle contains the Poly G7500 4K codec, the EagleEye IV 12x PTZ camera with HDCI cable, the Poly TC8 touch controller, and a Poly IP tabletop microphone. Displays, camera mounting hardware, and any additional microphone arrays are ordered separately.

Will the system interoperate with our existing agency video bridges?
Yes. Alongside native Microsoft Teams and Zoom room apps, the codec supports standards-based H.323 and SIP calling at up to 6 Mbps with dynamic bandwidth allocation, so it registers to existing gatekeepers, SIP registrars, and MCUs rather than forcing a platform migration.

What encryption does the system provide for a security review?
Media encryption uses AES-128 and AES-256 with H.235.6 support, and management interfaces run over TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 with authenticated administrative access. These are the items a network security review typically asks for before the device is accredited on an agency network.

How is microphone coverage scaled for a larger briefing room?
The codec supplies PoE+ on three dedicated 10/100/1G LAN ports and supports up to three IP microphone arrays, each covering roughly 20 ft. of pickup range. Table arrays or ceiling arrays connect over standard Ethernet cabling, avoiding analog mic runs back to an outboard DSP.

Can this be driven by an existing control system?
Yes. An RS-232 serial port and a REST API allow a third-party control processor to handle call control, camera selection, and display routing, which is the normal approach when the room is part of a larger integrated AV design rather than a standalone endpoint.

What warranty applies and can it be extended?
The system carries a one-year return-to-factory parts and labor warranty. Extended Poly+ coverage with advance hardware replacement is available separately; contact Creation Networks to have the coverage tier quoted alongside the hardware line items on your requisition.
