Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.

LED wall that fits

Under a 8 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 12 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 43.3 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 69 x 12 (11592 x 2016 px, 8,280 kg, 153.2 kW).

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.

Seating estimate

After a 12 x 7 m stage, Full Ballroom holds about 3,979 theater seats, 1,628 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 1,119 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 36.3 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
