Poly DirectorAI: Smart Camera Framing for Better Hybrid Meetings

Poly DirectorAI is an AI-powered camera technology that enhances video conferencing by automatically adjusting the camera view to focus on active speakers or groups, ensuring optimal framing without manual intervention.

Headset Solutions discusses Poly DirectorAi for the first time in our latest article.

What is Poly DirectorAI?

Poly DirectorAI uses advanced AI and machine learning to elevate video conferencing through various camera-framing and tracking modes. It enhances meetings by better capturing human expression and body language.

Key Features

Group Framing

Ideal for active discussions between smaller teams, group framing mode removes excess wasted screen space to focus on everyone for a more collaborative hybrid meeting experience.

People Framing

Groups in conference rooms make it difficult to see everyone in the room. People-framing mode creates a close-up frame for each in-person participant in gallery format to avoid that issue. If there are more than six people, it switches to group framing.

Speaker Framing

When there are several main speakers, it can be tough to focus on who is speaking. Speaker-framing mode makes it easy to see who is talking and hear what they are saying. If no one is talking, it defaults to a more natural group framing mode.

Presenter Tracking

Presenter-tracking mode zooms in to frame one main speaker on the screen, then continues to follow them in real time as they move, so the speaker can deliver a confident and dynamic presentation.

Additional Enhancements

Poly DirectorAI Perimeter

With DirectorAI Perimeter, you can input the dimensions of the conference room or meeting area so that only faces within that area are framed. This helps to eliminate distractions.

Multi-Camera Experience

Poly DirectorAI can manage multiple cameras to provide the best view of the meeting room, ensuring all participants are visible and appropriately framed.
