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 3 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 40.5 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 64 x 2 (12800 x 400 px, 998 kg, 20.5 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	54 x 3 = 162	32.4 x 1 m	41472 x 1296	729 kg / 1,607 lb	14.3 kW, 69 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	64 x 2 = 128	32 x 1 m	12800 x 400	998 kg / 2,201 lb	20.5 kW, 98 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, Grand Hall holds about 3,458 theater seats, 1,414 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 972 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 33.5 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
