Poly Studio Large Room Kit MS Teams: E70 Smart Cam + GC8
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Poly Studio Large Room Kit for Microsoft Teams — Poly Studio E70 Smart Camera with GC8 (9R6F2AA) - Local Warranty
Poly Studio Large Room Kit for Microsoft Teams — E70 Smart Camera with GC8
This Poly Studio large room kit pairs the dual-sensor Poly Studio E70 smart camera with the Poly GC8 touch controller for a Microsoft Teams Rooms deployment in a boardroom or training room. HP classes the Studio E70 as a large-room camera for ten or more people, and describes the kit as certified and purpose built for Microsoft Teams Rooms.
Dual 20 MP 4K Sensors with 7.3x Digital Zoom
The Studio E70 uses two 20-megapixel 4K sensors covering diagonal fields of view of 78 and 140 degrees (120 and 70 degrees horizontal), with 7.3x digital zoom and a camera range to 7.62 metres. Poly DirectorAI provides speaker framing, people framing, group framing and a DirectorAI perimeter, so a long boardroom table is covered by intelligent framing rather than a single fixed shot.
PoE-Capable Camera with Motorised Privacy Shutter
The Studio E70 carries an RJ-45 port alongside USB Type-C and supports Power over Ethernet at 802.3af Class 3, 15.4 W, as well as an external 12 VDC 5 A supply. A motorised, integrated electronic privacy shutter closes the lens when the room is idle, and 802.1x support with certificate management suits corporate network policy.
Camera Only — Specify Room Audio Separately
HP publishes no microphone or speaker specification for the Studio E70: it is a camera, and the room audio comes from the audio device attached to the conferencing PC. HP's GC8 release notes list the Poly Trio C60 and Poly Sync 40 USB among the tested Poly audio peripherals for GC8-based Teams Rooms, which is where a boardroom audio budget should go.
Ideal For
This kit is ideally suited to organisations equipping boardrooms and training rooms of ten or more people as Microsoft Teams Rooms, where multi-sensor intelligent framing and a wall-mounted premium camera matter more than an all-in-one bar.

Compatibility & Software Support
Platform
This is a kit for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows. The meeting experience runs on a certified conferencing PC; the Poly GC8 provides table-side control and the Poly Studio E70 provides the room's video — HP publishes no microphone or speaker specification for it, so room audio is supplied by a separate audio device.
Microsoft Teams Rooms licence: HP's Poly Room Kits solution guide states “You must have a Microsoft Teams Rooms license to set up your Poly Room Kits for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows.” The licence is not included with the hardware and is ordered separately.
Certifications
HP states the Poly GC8 is Microsoft Teams certified. For the Poly Studio E70, HP states Certified for Microsoft Teams and Certified for Zoom.
Operating systems and device mode
The Poly video device in this kit is a USB peripheral, so outside the Teams Rooms application it can also be used as a standard USB camera and audio device by a laptop in BYOD mode. HP publishes a BYOD solution for Poly room kits that lets a personal computer access the room peripherals — see the Poly Microsoft Teams Room Base Kit and the Poly BYOD kits for the required switching hardware.
Standards-based and third-party calling
Standards-based SIP/H.323 calling is a function of a Poly video codec such as the Poly G7500 or a Studio X-series system, not of a Teams Rooms on Windows PC kit. If SIP or H.323 registration is a requirement, specify a Poly codec-based room instead.
Management
Poly peripherals are provisioned, monitored and updated through Poly Lens. The Teams Rooms device itself is managed from the Microsoft Teams Admin Centre.
Conferencing PC: HP's published contents for this kit's regional variant (9C946AA) list the Studio E70 camera, USB Type-C cable, Ethernet cable, wall mount kit and Poly GC8 controller — no conferencing PC. A Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows deployment requires a certified conferencing PC; HP's GC8 release notes list the HP Mini Conferencing PC with Microsoft Teams Rooms, Lenovo ThinkSmart Edition Tiny, Lenovo ThinkSmart Core and Dell OptiPlex 7080 XE as tested. Confirm what is included in your quotation with SourceIT.
Current HP lineup: HP Singapore's Microsoft Teams Rooms bundle page now builds rooms around the Poly Studio Base Kit G9 Plus — an HP Mini IP conferencing PC with a Poly TC10 controller — paired with the Studio V12 (approx. 15 x 10 ft), Studio V52 (approx. 20 x 15 ft), Studio V72 (approx. 28 x 15 ft) or the Studio E60 / Studio E70 cameras. Note the controller changed from GC8 to TC10 in that lineup. HP has not published an end-of-life notice for the kit on this page, but it has been superseded by that range — contact SourceIT to confirm current availability and lead time.

Cabling
HP's Poly room kit documentation uses a 10 m USB-A to USB-C cable for the Studio E70 and a 10 m USB-A to USB-C cable for the GC8, with optional 25 m and 40 m runs and an optional PoE injector for the camera. Displays and HDMI cables are not supplied.
About the “+487P-” suffix: some Poly room kit part numbers are quoted as a hardware SKU plus a second code beginning 487P (for example 7230-87700-102+487P-87700-112). The 487P code is a Poly+ support service attach, not an extra hardware item — the hardware content of the kit is unchanged. Ask SourceIT which support term is attached to your quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Poly Studio Large Room Kit (9R6F2AA)
Does this kit include room audio?
The Studio E70 is a camera only — HP publishes no microphone or speaker specification for it. Room audio must be specified separately; HP's GC8 release notes name the Poly Trio C60 and Poly Sync 40 USB among the tested Poly audio devices for GC8-based Teams Rooms.
How big a room does the Studio E70 cover?
HP classes it as a large-room camera for ten or more people, with a camera range to 7.62 metres and dual sensors covering up to a 140-degree diagonal field of view. For six to nine people the Studio USB based kit is more appropriate; for three to five, the Studio R30 based kit.
Is the zoom optical or digital?
HP states 7.3x digital zoom for the Studio E70. It is the only camera in this kit range for which HP publishes the zoom type. For optical zoom in a large room, the Poly Studio E60 is the MPTZ camera in the SourceIT catalogue.
Can the Studio E70 be powered over Ethernet?
Yes. HP specifies Power over Ethernet 802.3af, 15.4 W, Class 3 for the Studio E70, alongside its external 12 VDC 5 A supply. The Poly GC8 controller in the kit is not PoE and needs mains power.
Do I need a room PC and a Microsoft Teams Rooms licence?
HP's published contents for this kit's regional variant (9C946AA) list the camera, controller, cables and wall mount kit but no conferencing PC, so budget for a certified Teams Rooms PC separately. A Microsoft Teams Rooms licence is also required and is not included.
How does this differ from the 7230-87720-102 Large Room Kit?
The 7230-87720-102 kit is the legacy Poly part number for the large room kit that HP documents as including a conferencing PC. This HP SKU is the camera-plus-controller configuration. Ask SourceIT which is currently stocked.
Is this covered by warranty in Singapore?
Yes. Every Poly Studio Large Room Kit sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice.
