Planar Systems Simplicity Series SL6564K 65" Class 4K UHD Commercial LED Display - 997-9257-00

Product Overview

The Planar SL6564K is a 65" Class 4K UHD commercial LED display from the Simplicity Series (SKU: 997-9257-00). Designed for professional digital signage environments, it features a narrow logo-free bezel, OPS expansion slot for compute module integration, on/off scheduling, USB media playback, and a Kensington security slot. With DisplayPort, dual HDMI 2.0, and VGA inputs, the SL6564K provides versatile connectivity for enterprise AV, retail, and command-and-control applications.

Product Description

The SL6564K is a step above the Simplicity M Series SLM65 in the Planar lineup. While both are 65" 4K displays, the SL6564K adds a DisplayPort input, an OPS (Open Pluggable Specification) expansion slot for installing Windows or Android compute modules, a Kensington security lock slot, and programmable on/off scheduling — features that make it more suitable for 24/7 digital signage or multi-source AV deployments. The slim mounting profile and unbranded bezel ensure clean, professional aesthetics in any commercial space. Two HDMI 2.0 inputs (HDCP 2.2) with 4K60 support handle UHD sources, while the VGA input maintains backward compatibility. Built-in RS-232, Ethernet, and IR remote control interfaces integrate with Crestron, AMX, and other commercial control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the SL6564K differ from the Planar SLM65?

The SL6564K (Simplicity Series) and SLM65 (Simplicity M Series) are both 65" 4K displays, but the SL6564K adds a DisplayPort input, OPS expansion slot for compute modules, a Kensington lock, and programmable scheduling — making it the better choice for multi-source or OPS-based digital signage. The SLM65 includes a built-in Android 8.0 OS for standalone operation without an OPS module.

What can the OPS expansion slot be used for?

The OPS slot accepts standard Open Pluggable Specification compute modules running Windows or Android, enabling the display to function as a fully integrated digital signage player or interactive kiosk without external computers.

Can the SL6564K be mounted in portrait orientation?

Yes. The display supports landscape and portrait mounting configurations for flexible installation.

Does the SL6564K have built-in Wi-Fi?

No. Network connectivity is via a wired LAN (RJ45) Ethernet connection. Wi-Fi capability can be added through an OPS compute module if required.

What scheduling features does the SL6564K support?

The SL6564K supports programmable on/off scheduling and USB playback scheduling, allowing displays to power on and run content automatically at set times — reducing energy use during off-hours.

Is the SL6564K compatible with Crestron and AMX control systems?

Yes. RS-232 and LAN (Ethernet) control interfaces are compatible with Crestron, AMX, and other commercial AV control systems. Refer to Planar's control documentation for driver availability.
