LED wall that fits
Under a 3.7 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 3 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 17.7 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 28 x 3 (5600 x 600 px, 655 kg, 13.4 kW).
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 23 x 5 = 115 | 13.8 x 1.7 m | 17664 x 2160 | 518 kg / 1,141 lb | 10.2 kW, 49 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 28 x 3 = 84 | 14 x 1.5 m | 5600 x 600 | 655 kg / 1,444 lb | 13.4 kW, 65 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 28 x 3 = 84 | 14 x 1.5 m | 3584 x 384 | 655 kg / 1,444 lb | 11.8 kW, 57 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.
Seating estimate
After a 12 x 7 m stage, Foundation Room holds about 135 theater seats, 55 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 38 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 10.7 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
