Poly Studio E60 vs Poly Studio X52 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 X52

A 20 MP 4K lens with a 110° view, 5x digital zoom and up to 60 fps drives DirectorAI people, group and speaker framing. DirectorAI perimeter ignores people outside the room. However, behind glass walls on my own install, perimeter framing ignored people walking past outside in a moment. That's a real advantage over bars that reframe every time someone walks by.

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 X52

The Studio X52's official AI features include Poly DirectorAI: people, group and speaker framing, DirectorAI perimeter; NoiseBlockAI; Acoustic Fence. Zoom is listed as 5x digital. Whiteboard handling is listed as Digital whiteboarding. In rooms I've set up, I care whether tracking stays with the speaker without hunting around the table.

Poly Studio X52

Four mics, two MEMS and two second-order, reach about 6.09 m, and an optional expansion mic plugs into the line input. I'd expect clear pickup across a typical medium room, enough for most medium rooms of six to nine people without extra mics. Mixing MEMS and second-order mics at about 6.09 m is why the X52 covers medium tables better than the X32.

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 X52

Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet run in appliance mode. For legacy endpoints there's Poly Video mode with SIP and H.323, plus a USB mode for guests. It's certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet, and a TC8 or TC10 touch controller sits on the table. Enroll in Poly Lens on day one so monitoring isn't a later project.

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 X52

Poly Lens manages firmware and settings remotely. The box includes a monitor clamp, power adapter and cables. I'd allow a short while for mounting, cabling and pairing the TC10. Monitor clamp and power accessories in the box get a pilot room live quickly; production rooms still need planned cable paths.
