Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.
LED wall that fits
Under a 3.1 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 2 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 43.1 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 68 x 2 (13600 x 400 px, 1,061 kg, 21.8 kW).
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 57 x 3 = 171 | 34.2 x 1 m | 43776 x 1296 | 770 kg / 1,696 lb | 15.1 kW, 73 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 68 x 2 = 136 | 34 x 1 m | 13600 x 400 | 1,061 kg / 2,339 lb | 21.8 kW, 105 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 68 x 2 = 136 | 34 x 1 m | 8704 x 256 | 1,061 kg / 2,339 lb | 19 kW, 92 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, Basketball Arena holds about 3,941 theater seats, 1,612 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 1,108 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 36.1 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
