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 8 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 12 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 32.6 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 52 x 12 (10400 x 2400 px, 4,867 kg, 99.8 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 East holds about 2,175 theater seats, 889 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 611 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 25.6 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
