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 16.4 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 26 x 2 (5200 x 400 px, 406 kg, 8.3 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	21 x 3 = 63	12.6 x 1 m	16128 x 1296	284 kg / 625 lb	5.6 kW, 27 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	26 x 2 = 52	13 x 1 m	5200 x 400	406 kg / 894 lb	8.3 kW, 40 A @ 208 V
Absen PL3.9 Plus V2	3.9 mm	26 x 2 = 52	13 x 1 m	3328 x 256	406 kg / 894 lb	7.3 kW, 35 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, S400c holds about 42 theater seats, 17 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 12 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 9.4 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
