AMX VARIA-SL50 – 5.5-Inch Ultra-Slim Wall-Mount Persona-Defined Touch Panel

Product Overview

The AMX VARIA-SL50 is a 5.5-inch ultra-slim portrait persona-defined touch panel engineered for flush in-wall installation in standard single-gang electrical boxes, making it the most compact panel in the VARIA SL line for conference room door scheduling, small room AV control, and hallway kiosk applications. Despite its minimal form factor — 24.3 mm depth and 0.38 lb — it supports the full VARIA persona architecture including Zoom Rooms Controller, AMX G5 AV control, AMX Book scheduling, web kiosk, and open Android app platform. Powered by PoE 802.3af over a single RJ-45, the VARIA-SL50 installs cleanly in any standard single-gang box without separate power requirements.

Product Description

The AMX VARIA-SL50 (AMX-UTP0501) features a 5.5-inch, 720×1280, 9:16 portrait touchscreen with a 1W integrated speaker, dual microphones, ambient light sensor, and proximity sensor for wake-on-approach. Camera and NFC are not included, making it naturally compatible with facilities that restrict camera hardware without requiring a special no-comm variant. Five pre-loaded personas define its operational mode: AMX G5 Control, Zoom Rooms Controller, AMX Book scheduling, Web Kiosk, and Any-App Android platform — all software-selectable without hardware changes. Side LEDs programmable to over 1 million colors enable room status, booking state, and AV system feedback signaling. Enterprise security protocols — HTTPS, 802.1X, TLS 1.3, and OAuth 2.0 — ensure compatibility with corporate and government networks. CloudworX Manager enables remote mass configuration and firmware deployment across large VARIA SL fleets.
