Plan view

Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.

LED wall that fits

Under a 4.9 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 6 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 18.3 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 29 x 6 (4872 x 1008 px, 1,740 kg, 32.2 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, Catawba 2 holds about 557 theater seats, 228 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 156 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 11.3 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
