When to Choose Poly Studio X72

Large conference rooms (14-20+ people) that need a premium all-in-one solution with native platform support

The Poly Studio X72 is the flagship all-in-one video bar for large conference rooms. Its dual-camera AI Director system handles big rooms with ease, and the integrated compute means no separate PC is needed for Zoom or Teams Rooms. The price is steep, but for large-room deployments, the X72 delivers enterprise-grade quality.

Strengths

  • Dual-camera system with AI Director for intelligent framing of up to 20+ participants
  • Exceptional audio with NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence technology
  • Native Zoom, Teams, and open SIP support — no external compute needed
  • Premium build quality with versatile wall-mount and table-stand options

Limitations

  • Premium price at $6,999 is a significant investment
  • Large form factor may not suit smaller rooms
  • Requires Poly Lens for full remote management capabilities

When to Choose Jabra PanaCast 50 VBS

Wide or L-shaped meeting rooms that need 180-degree coverage with AI-powered speaker tracking

The Jabra PanaCast 50 VBS stands out with its unique 180-degree panoramic view — no other video bar covers as wide a field. The Virtual Director AI creates polished, broadcast-style views that make remote participants feel more included. The triple-camera stitching is impressive but not seamless. Best for rooms where wall-to-wall coverage is essential.

Strengths

  • 180-degree panoramic field of view using triple-camera stitching — widest coverage in class
  • Virtual Director AI creates broadcast-style speaker-focused views automatically
  • Intelligent Zoom dynamically adjusts framing based on participant positions
  • Eight-microphone array with Jabra's proven noise cancellation technology

Limitations

  • Triple-camera stitching can produce visible seams in challenging lighting
  • VBS compute module adds complexity and cost to installation
  • Fan noise from VBS compute unit reported in some installations
