LED wall that fits

Under a 9.8 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 15 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 60 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 96 x 15 (16128 x 2520 px, 14,400 kg, 266.4 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, Ballroom Pre-function holds about 1,360 theater seats, 556 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 382 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 53 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
