Plan view

LED wall that fits

Under a 8.2 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 12 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 35.4 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 56 x 12 (9408 x 2016 px, 6,720 kg, 124.3 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, The Martha John M. Rivers Performance Hall Lobby holds about 387 theater seats, 158 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 108 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 28.4 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
