Poly G7500 – 4K Base Unit TAA Compliant

Product Overview

The Poly G7500 TAA compliant base unit (842T1AA#ABA) is the 4K UHD modular codec at the center of a Poly G7500 room system, built to a Trade Agreements Act compliant configuration for U.S. federal procurement. It is sold as a codec only, so a contracting officer or integrator specifies the camera, IP microphone arrays, and touch controller separately against the room requirement and the contract line item. The codec is certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom and also supports standards-based H.323 and SIP calling for interoperability with existing agency video infrastructure. For government AV programs standardizing a single room platform across facilities, the TAA build removes a procurement blocker without changing the technical baseline.

Product Description

TAA compliance matters because federal agencies purchasing under GSA schedules and many state and public sector contracts require that IT hardware be manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country. The 842T1AA part number is the G7500 codec built and sourced to satisfy that requirement, and it is the SKU to cite on a solicitation rather than the commercial 83Z50AA base unit. Functionally it is the same modular codec: H.264 AVC, H.264 High Profile, and H.265 encode and decode, people video up to 4K at 30 fps, and content input and output up to UHD 3840 x 2160 at 5 to 60 fps.

Because this is a base unit rather than a bundle, the room design drives the peripheral selection. The codec accepts up to three HDMI or USB camera inputs with switching from the touch interface, and supports Poly EagleEye IV, EagleEye Producer, and the Poly Studio E70. Three dedicated 10/100/1G LAN ports supply PoE+ to as many as three IP microphone arrays, each covering roughly 20 ft. of pickup range over standard Ethernet cabling, which is how a long committee-room or briefing-room table gets covered without running analog mic lines to an outboard DSP. Poly NoiseBlockAI and Poly Acoustic Fence suppress non-speech noise and out-of-zone voices, useful in shared secure spaces and open bullpen areas where background conversation is constant.

For integration into an existing government AV system, the codec exposes an RS-232 serial port and a REST API for third-party control processors, 3x USB 3.0 and 1x USB-C for peripherals and USB device mode, and dual HDMI outputs for a people-plus-content display pair. Media encryption uses AES-128 and AES-256 with H.235.6, and management sessions run over TLS 1.0 through 1.2. Fleet configuration and firmware are handled by HP Poly Lens. Typical companion items on the same requisition are a Poly TC8 touch controller for in-room call control, a Poly Studio E70 dual-lens camera for larger rooms, and the Poly EagleEye IV camera mounting bracket when an EagleEye IV is being display-mounted.

Key Features

• TAA Compliant Build — The 842T1AA part number is sourced to meet Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. federal and public sector procurement.
• Codec-Only Configuration — Cameras, microphones, and controllers are specified separately, so each room on a multi-site contract gets the peripheral set it actually needs.
• 4K UHD Video Processing — H.264 AVC, H.264 High Profile, and H.265 support people video up to 4K at 30 fps and content up to 3840 x 2160.
• Three Camera Inputs — Up to three HDMI or USB cameras connect directly with source switching from the touch interface, covering presenter and audience angles in briefing rooms.
• PoE+ IP Microphone Ports — Three dedicated 10/100/1G LAN ports power up to three IP microphone arrays over standard Ethernet, each with roughly 20 ft. of pickup.
• Poly NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence — Non-speech noise and voices outside the pickup zone are suppressed so far-end participants hear the meeting, not the room.
• Standards-Based Interoperability — H.323 and SIP calling at up to 6 Mbps connects the room to existing agency video bridges and gateways.
• Enterprise Encryption — AES-128 and AES-256 media encryption with H.235.6 and TLS 1.0 through 1.2 support agency network security review.
• 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 Management — Cloud monitoring, firmware, and configuration scale across a facility-wide room fleet from one console.

Typical Applications

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

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does TAA compliant mean for this part number?
The Trade Agreements Act restricts federal purchases to products manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country. The 842T1AA#ABA G7500 base unit is built to satisfy that requirement, which is why it is the correct SKU to cite on a federal solicitation instead of the commercial 83Z50AA base unit.

Is a camera or microphone included with this SKU?
No. This is the codec base unit with a cable bundle only. Cameras, IP microphone arrays, and touch controllers are ordered separately so each room can be scoped independently. Pre-bundled GSA/TAA configurations that include an EagleEye IV camera, TC8 controller, and IP table microphone are available under separate part numbers.

Which cameras and microphones can be added to this codec?
Supported cameras include Poly EagleEye IV, EagleEye Producer, and the Poly Studio E70, connected across up to three HDMI or USB camera inputs. Up to three Poly IP microphone arrays connect and draw PoE+ from the three dedicated 10/100/1G LAN ports on the codec, each covering roughly 20 ft. of pickup range.

Will this codec interoperate with our existing agency video infrastructure?
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 bridges rather than requiring a platform migration.

What encryption and security features does the G7500 provide?
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. Administrative access is authenticated, which is typically what a network security review asks for before the device is placed on an agency network.

How is the codec integrated with a room control system?
An RS-232 serial port and a REST API allow a third-party control processor to handle call control, camera selection, and room state. The codec also supports USB device mode over USB-C, so it can act as a USB camera and audio device for a connected room PC when the deployment requires it.

How should a large deployment be managed?
HP Poly Lens provides cloud monitoring, configuration, and firmware distribution across the room fleet, which keeps a multi-facility rollout consistent without a technician visiting each codec.

What warranty applies and can it be extended?
The unit 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 correct coverage tier quoted alongside the hardware line items.
