Plan view

LED wall that fits

Under a 7 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 10 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 47.5 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 76 x 10 (12768 x 1680 px, 7,600 kg, 140.6 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, International Ballroom North and South holds about 4,352 theater seats, 1,780 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 1,224 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 40.5 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
