What fits in Sinclair Ballroom
With a 4.6 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen A2 Pro (2.97 mm) runs 36 tiles wide by 5 high (180 tiles, 18 x 2.5 m, 6048 x 840 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 1,800 kg and draws up to 33.3 kW (160 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 285 theater, 116 banquet, or 80 classroom. The previz lets you move the wall, change the tile, and check sightlines from the back row.
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9thPanel DW1.9 S Pro | 1.875 mm | 30 x 8 = 240 | 18 x 2.7 m | 9600 x 1440 | 1,152 kg / 2,540 lb | 61 kW, 293 A @ 208 V |
| Absen A2 Pro | 2.97 mm | 36 x 5 = 180 | 18 x 2.5 m | 6048 x 840 | 1,800 kg / 3,968 lb | 33.3 kW, 160 A @ 208 V |
| Absen A3 Pro | 3.9 mm | 36 x 5 = 180 | 18 x 2.5 m | 4608 x 640 | 1,710 kg / 3,770 lb | 28.8 kW, 138 A @ 208 V |
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.
Planning notes
No rigging point data is published for this venue yet; plan on ground-supported LED or ask the venue for its rigging plot. 11 of the 23 rooms sit under 3.5 m, which rules out flown LED there and limits ground-stacked walls to about 6 rows of 500 mm tile. Sinclair Ballroom is a long room (2.4:1), so put the wall on the short end and expect the back row to be 22.6 m out; a 2.97 mm pitch holds up at that distance.
