Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.
LED wall that fits
Under a 4.2 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 4 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 17.8 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 28 x 4 (5600 x 800 px, 874 kg, 17.9 kW).
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 23 x 7 = 161 | 13.8 x 2.4 m | 17664 x 3024 | 725 kg / 1,597 lb | 14.2 kW, 68 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 28 x 4 = 112 | 14 x 2 m | 5600 x 800 | 874 kg / 1,926 lb | 17.9 kW, 86 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 28 x 4 = 112 | 14 x 2 m | 3584 x 512 | 874 kg / 1,926 lb | 15.7 kW, 75 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, N229 holds about 517 theater seats, 211 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 145 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 10.8 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
