Planar EP5024K EP-Series 50" LED display - 4K -997-9248-02
Product Overview
The Planar EP5024K is a 50-inch 4K UHD commercial display from the EP Series, purpose-built for enterprise and interactive education deployments. Part number 997-9248-02, it delivers native 3840x2160 resolution at 60Hz, 24/7 commercial reliability, OPS slot for integrated compute, multi-source viewing, and TAA compliance. Where the PS Series targets digital signage with embedded Android, the EP Series targets corporate and institutional environments requiring content-source flexibility, metal enclosure durability, and IT-friendly control integration via Crestron drivers.
Product Description
The EP5024K is positioned for professional AV environments where reliability and integration flexibility matter more than embedded signage software. Its all-metal casing provides enhanced durability and heat dissipation for demanding public spaces, corporate lobbies, and enterprise training rooms. The OPS expansion slot supports Intel OPS compute modules and media players, giving integrators full control over the compute stack. Built-in processing supports simultaneous viewing of 2 or 4 sources — common in control rooms, trading floors, and network operations centers. Both DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 carry native 4K at 60Hz. The logo-free, symmetrical bezel is ideal for portrait installations. Crestron drivers accelerate integration for resellers and reduce programming time. The EP5024K is HDCP 2.2 compliant and can upscale Full HD content to fill the 4K panel area.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the EP5024K differ from the PS Series at the same screen size?
- The EP Series (EP5024K) targets corporate, enterprise, and institutional environments with an all-metal enclosure, OPS slot, and Crestron integration.
