Plan view

LED wall that fits

Under a 6.4 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 9 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 22.6 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 36 x 9 (6048 x 1512 px, 3,240 kg, 59.9 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, Crystal Ballroom holds about 516 theater seats, 211 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 145 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 15.6 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
