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

Product Overview

The Poly G7500 JITC certified video system (842T6AA#ABA) is the Department of Defense procurement configuration of the G7500 modular room platform, bundling the 4K UHD codec, an EagleEye IV 12x optical zoom PTZ camera, a Poly TC8 touch controller, and a Poly IP tabletop microphone. It carries both GSA/TAA compliance for federal contract award and Joint Interoperability Test Command certification, which is the DoD requirement for placing a video endpoint on the Defense Information Systems Network. The codec is certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom and supports standards-based H.323 and SIP for existing defense video infrastructure. Specify this SKU where the accreditation package requires a JITC-listed endpoint.

Product Description

JITC certification is the distinguishing attribute of this part number, and it is not interchangeable with TAA compliance. TAA governs country of origin and determines whether a product can be awarded on a federal contract; JITC certification is the result of interoperability testing conducted by the Joint Interoperability Test Command and determines whether the endpoint may be connected to DoD networks that require listed equipment. Programs writing an accreditation package against DISA requirements generally cannot substitute the standard GSA/TAA SKU for this one, even though the hardware is the same modular codec. If the facility also prohibits RF emitters, the No Radio variant is the correct part number instead.

The room package is built for command conference rooms and briefing spaces. The G7500 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. Two HDMI outputs drive separate people and content displays, and one HDMI input accepts a room PC or presenter laptop. The EagleEye IV camera connects over the supplied HDCI cable with 12x optical zoom, pan, and tilt, which matters when the camera is at the display and the far end of a command table is well beyond the useful range of a digital crop. The bundled IP tabletop microphone connects over standard Ethernet and draws PoE+ from one of the codec's three dedicated 10/100/1G LAN ports.

For the integrator building the accreditation package, the relevant details are the security and control surfaces. Media encryption uses AES-128 and AES-256 with H.235.6, management interfaces run over TLS 1.0 through 1.2, and administrative access is authenticated. The codec supports IPv4 and IPv6, exposes RS-232 and a REST API for a third-party control processor, and accepts up to three HDMI or USB cameras with switching from the touch interface. Poly NoiseBlockAI and Poly Acoustic Fence suppress non-speech noise and out-of-zone voices, which is worth having in shared spaces where adjacent conversation must stay off the call. Companion items usually specified alongside this system are the Poly EagleEye IV camera mounting bracket, a Poly IP ceiling microphone array for rooms where table microphones are impractical, and a spare Poly TC8 touch controller.

Key Features

• JITC Certified — Joint Interoperability Test Command certification supports placement on DoD networks that require a listed video endpoint.
• GSA/TAA Compliant Build — Trade Agreements Act compliance allows the 842T6AA part number to be cited directly on a federal solicitation.
• Complete Room Bundle — Codec, EagleEye IV 12x camera, TC8 touch controller, and IP tabletop microphone arrive under one contract line item.
• 12x Optical Zoom PTZ Camera — Optical zoom with pan and tilt frames a speaker at the far end of a command 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.
• AES-256 Media Encryption — AES-128 and AES-256 with H.235.6 and TLS 1.0 through 1.2 provide the cryptographic detail an accreditation package requires.
• IPv4 and IPv6 Support — Dual-stack networking suits defense networks that have already moved to IPv6 addressing.
• Standards-Based Interoperability — H.323 and SIP calling at up to 6 Mbps registers the room to existing defense gatekeepers, registrars, and bridges.
• 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.
• Control System Integration — RS-232 and a REST API let a third-party control processor drive the codec inside a larger integrated AV system.

Typical Applications

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between JITC certification and TAA compliance?
They answer different questions. TAA compliance governs country of origin and determines whether the product can be awarded on a federal contract. JITC certification is the outcome of interoperability testing by the Joint Interoperability Test Command and determines whether the endpoint may be placed on DoD networks that require listed equipment. This part number carries both.

Can the standard GSA/TAA SKU be substituted for this one?
Not where the accreditation package specifies a JITC-listed endpoint. The hardware is the same modular codec, camera, controller, and microphone, but the 842T6AA#ABA part number is the one that carries the JITC certification. Substituting the 842T5AA GSA/TAA SKU will not satisfy a DISA requirement for listed equipment.

Does this build have wireless enabled?
Yes. This configuration includes Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac with MIMO and Bluetooth 5.0. Facilities that prohibit RF emitters entirely should specify the No Radio GSA/TAA variant, which is supplied without operable wireless radios.

Which components ship in the bundle?
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 additional microphone arrays are ordered separately.

What encryption and network details does the accreditation package need?
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. The codec supports IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack addressing and H.323 and SIP signaling at up to 6 Mbps with dynamic bandwidth allocation.

How is the room scaled for more participants?
The codec supplies PoE+ on three dedicated 10/100/1G LAN ports and supports up to three IP microphone arrays with roughly 20 ft. of pickup range each. It also accepts up to three HDMI or USB cameras with source switching from the touch interface, so a presenter camera can be added to a command table camera.

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

What warranty and support coverage apply?
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 appropriate tier quoted with the hardware line items.
