AMX VARIA-SL80 – 8-Inch Ultra-Slim Wall-Mount Persona-Defined Touch Panel

Product Overview

The AMX VARIA-SL80 is an 8-inch ultra-slim persona-defined touch panel engineered specifically for flush in-wall installation using standard single-gang electrical boxes, making it the right choice for commercial AV environments that require a clean, architectural panel finish without specialized rough-in boxes. Like all VARIA series panels, it supports the full persona framework — configurable as an AMX G5 AV controller, Zoom Rooms appliance, AMX Book scheduling panel, web kiosk, or open Android app platform — via software selection. Powered by PoE 802.3af over a single RJ-45 cable, the VARIA-SL80 installs in any conference room, hallway, or boardroom wall location with existing single-gang boxes, and is managed centrally through CloudworX for enterprise fleet deployments.

Product Description

The AMX VARIA-SL80 (AMX-UTP0801) features an 8-inch, 1280×800, 16:10 landscape touchscreen in a 26.65 mm depth chassis that fits standard single-gang electrical boxes — significantly slimmer than standard VARIA panels. Integrated features include dual 1W speakers, dual microphones, a 5MP front-facing HD camera, NFC read/write, ambient light sensor for adaptive brightness, and proximity sensor for wake-on-approach. All five VARIA personas are pre-loaded: AMX G5 Control, Zoom Rooms Controller, AMX Book scheduling, Web Kiosk, and Any-App for Android applications. Side LEDs are programmable to over 1 million colors for room status and scheduling state indication. Enterprise security protocols — HTTPS, 802.1X, TLS 1.3, and OAuth 2.0 — support integration into corporate and government network environments. CloudworX Manager provides centralized mass configuration, firmware updates, and persona management across large VARIA SL installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the VARIA-SL80 and the standard VARIA-80?

The VARIA-SL80 is the ultra-slim variant, optimized for flush installation in standard single-gang electrical boxes with a 26.65 mm depth. The standard VARIA-80 has a slightly larger chassis with a more standard mounting solution including wall, glass, and VESA options. The VARIA-SL80 does not include VESA mounting but is the better choice for new construction and retrofit projects using existing single-gang boxes.

Does the VARIA-SL80 fit in a standard single-gang electrical box?

Yes. The VARIA-SL80 is specifically designed for standard single-gang electrical box installation, making it compatible with common rough-in boxes used in both new construction and retrofit commercial AV projects.

Does the VARIA-SL80 run the same personas as other VARIA panels?

Yes. The VARIA-SL80 ships with the same five pre-loaded personas as all VARIA panels: AMX G5 Control, Zoom Rooms Controller, AMX Book scheduling, Web Kiosk, and Any-App Android platform.

How is the VARIA-SL80 managed across a large deployment?

CloudworX Manager enables centralized mass configuration, persona selection, and remote firmware updates for large VARIA SL fleet deployments. Contact Creation Networks at 1-888-230-3661 for enterprise deployment planning.
