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 18.6 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 29 x 2 (5800 x 400 px, 452 kg, 9.3 kW).
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 24 x 3 = 72 | 14.4 x 1 m | 18432 x 1296 | 324 kg / 714 lb | 6.4 kW, 31 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 29 x 2 = 58 | 14.5 x 1 m | 5800 x 400 | 452 kg / 997 lb | 9.3 kW, 45 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 29 x 2 = 58 | 14.5 x 1 m | 3712 x 256 | 452 kg / 997 lb | 8.1 kW, 39 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, Shedd holds about 305 theater seats, 124 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 85 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 11.6 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
