Poly Studio E60 vs Poly Studio X50 Comparison

Poly Studio E60

Both lenses use 8 MP sensors, and the camera outputs 4K at 30 fps over USB or as an IP stream. The image is processed on board, so the room PC only receives the framed view. Faces look sharp at the back of a long boardroom, and skin tones stay natural under typical office LED panels.

Poly Studio X50

The X50 uses a single-lens 4K camera that captures at 3840 x 2160. Poly lists a 121° diagonal and 110° horizontal field of view with 5x digital zoom. People video runs at 4K30 or 1080p60, and a secondary camera can be added over USB or HDMI. That 110° horizontal view is wider than the Poly Studio X52's 95°, so in a wide, shallow room the X50 keeps the end seats in frame without a second camera.

Poly Studio E60

The PTZ lens has 12x optical zoom and Poly rates speaker pickup to about 10 m. It covers a 71 degree horizontal field at its widest, while the panoramic lens sees 107 degrees. In practice, optical zoom keeps a presenter at the far end of a training room sharp, rather than the soft crop a fixed-lens bar produces.

Poly Studio X50

Poly DirectorAI runs the framing. HP lists speaker framing, people framing, group framing, presenter tracking and DirectorAI perimeter, which keeps the camera from reacting to people outside a set boundary. Those modes cover most medium-room meetings: group framing for open discussion, speaker framing when people take turns around the table, and presenter tracking when someone stands at the screen.

Poly Studio X50

The X50 has five microphones, three MEMS and two second-order, in a beamforming array. Poly rates pickup at up to 7.62 m, the longest of the Poly bars on this site, and a line input takes the optional Studio Extension Microphone. Stereo speakers are rated at 20 W RMS and 40 W maximum with 86.1 dB sensitivity.

Poly Studio E60

The camera is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet. Poly Lens handles firmware updates, settings and fleet monitoring. For IT teams, Lens lets you push framing modes and updates across many rooms from one console. That consistency matters more than any single feature once you manage dozens of spaces.

Poly Studio X50

The X50 runs Poly VideoOS with native Microsoft Teams, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet apps. Poly Video mode adds H.323 and SIP calling at up to 6 Mbps, and USB device mode turns the bar into a camera, microphone and speaker for a guest laptop. HP's datasheet lists Teams, Zoom and Google Meet certification.

Poly Studio E60

The E60 connects by USB-B to a room PC, or over RJ45 with PoE+ power and data on one cable. A 12 V DC input is available, and Poly includes a 5 m Ethernet cable and a wall mount. PoE+ means a single cable run from the switch, which installers appreciate on ceiling or wall mounts.

Poly Studio X50

The connections cover a two-screen room: one HDMI 1.4 input with audio, two HDMI 1.4 outputs, one USB-C and two USB-A ports at 5 Gbps, gigabit Ethernet, 3.5 mm audio in and out, and Wi-Fi 802.11ac with Bluetooth 5.0 on radio versions. A wall mount kit and privacy cover come in the box, with a VESA kit and table stand as options.
