Poly Studio X70 – All-In-One 4K Video Bar (TAA Compliant)

Product Overview

The Poly Studio X70 TAA compliant video bar (842W9AA) is the federal-procurement build of HP Poly's large-room all-in-one system, pairing a dual-lens 20MP 4K camera with two-way stereo speakers and a four-microphone array in one wall-mounted unit. The TAA-compliant configuration lets government agencies, defense contractors, and GSA-schedule buyers standardize large conference rooms without a procurement exception. Certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, the bar runs cloud video natively on its built-in codec, so no room PC is required. Poly DirectorAI switches between the 120° wide lens and the 70° narrow lens to frame the group or follow the active speaker automatically.

Product Description

Federal and state agency AV standards frequently require a Trade Agreements Act compliant build, and the 842W9AA SKU exists so an integrator can specify the same large-room video bar in a government space that they deploy commercially. Functionally it matches the standard Studio X70: two 20 MP sensors capture 2160p 4K UHD, one through a 120° horizontal wide lens and one through a 70° horizontal narrow lens, with 7.3x digital zoom. DirectorAI smart camera technology performs people framing, group framing, and speaker framing by cutting between the two lenses rather than cropping a single sensor, which keeps remote participants looking at a properly composed shot instead of a soft digital crop.

Audio coverage is what qualifies the X70 for a full-depth boardroom. Two-way stereo speakers with aluminum cone tweeters and advanced bass ports produce 2 x 20 W RMS on the mid drivers and 2 x 15 W RMS on the tweeters, enough to cover a large room without an external amplifier or DSP in the rack. Two MEMS microphones and two second-order gradient microphones pick up to 25 ft. down the table, and Poly NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence suppress keyboard noise, mechanical rumble, and voices from outside the room. For longer tables, add a Poly Studio expansion table microphone rather than a second bar.

The connection panel is built for commercial installation: two HDMI 1.4 outputs for dual-display rooms, one HDMI 1.4 input for a local source or room PC, one USB Type-C and two USB Type-A ports at 5 Gbps, two RJ-45 interfaces, and analog audio in and out. USB device mode lets the bar serve a connected laptop, which is useful in agency spaces that must support both a managed room system and visiting hardware. This SKU ships as the bar only — pair it with a Poly TC10 touch controller or a Poly TC8 touch controller for one-touch join, and mount it with the Poly VESA mount for Studio X70 where the included wall mount kit does not suit the display. Poly Lens handles cloud monitoring and firmware control across the fleet. Note that TAA compliance is not the same as the JITC-certified No Radio build; if your facility prohibits wireless radios, specify part number 842X0AA instead.

Key Features

• TAA-Compliant Build — Meets Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements so federal, GSA-schedule, and defense-contractor buyers can procure without an exception.
• Dual-Lens 20MP Camera System — Separate 120° wide and 70° narrow 4K sensors cover the whole room and the active speaker without a mechanical PTZ head.
• Poly DirectorAI Framing — People, group, and speaker framing switch between lenses automatically, so no camera operator is needed in a large room.
• 7.3x Digital Zoom — Reaches the far end of a deep boardroom while keeping faces legible to remote attendees.
• High-Output Stereo Speakers — Two-way drivers with aluminum cone tweeters and bass ports cover a large room with no external amplifier or DSP.
• Four-Microphone Array — Two MEMS and two second-order gradient microphones pick up to 25 ft. down the conference table.
• NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence — Reject keyboard noise, HVAC, and corridor conversations instead of gating the entire audio channel.
• Built-In Codec, No Room PC — Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet run natively on the bar, with H.323 and SIP for standards-based agency estates.
• Dual-Display Output — Two HDMI outputs separate people and content across two screens; USB device mode supports a connected laptop.
• Poly Lens Cloud Management — Centralizes monitoring, firmware distribution, and room analytics for IT teams managing many rooms.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does TAA compliant mean for this Studio X70?
Part number 842W9AA is the Trade Agreements Act compliant build of the Studio X70. It is manufactured to sourcing rules that allow purchase under U.S. federal procurement contracts, including GSA schedules, without requesting an exception.

Is the TAA build the same as the JITC No Radio version?
No. TAA compliance addresses country-of-origin sourcing. If your facility also prohibits wireless radios and requires Joint Interoperability Test Command certification, specify the Studio X70 No Radio JITC SKU, part number 842X0AA, instead.

Does this SKU include a touch controller?
No. The 842W9AA is the bar only. Add a Poly TC8 or TC10 touch controller for one-touch join and in-room control, or order a factory bundle where a matching kit part number is required by the contract.

What room size does the X70 cover?
HP Poly rates the Studio X70 for large rooms up to approximately 30 ft. by 20 ft., with microphone pickup to 25 ft. A Poly Studio expansion table microphone extends coverage on longer tables.

How is the bar mounted and cabled?
A wall mount kit, AC power adapter, two HDMI cables, and an Ethernet cable ship in the box. For VESA-pattern display or cart installs, use the Poly VESA mount for Studio X70; the Poly Studio X70/X72/V72 table stand covers credenza placement.

How does the X70 integrate with an existing AV system?
USB Type-C and Type-A connections allow the bar to act as a USB peripheral for a managed room PC. Analog audio in and out connect to an installed sound system, and H.323 and SIP support covers standards-based video infrastructure still in service at many agencies.

What warranty and support are included?
The unit carries the Poly standard one-year limited warranty. Poly+ service agreements are available separately for extended coverage, advance hardware replacement, and technical support; contact Creation Networks for the correct tier and for contract vehicle questions.
