Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.
LED wall that fits
Under a 6.1 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 8 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 20.2 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 32 x 8 (6400 x 1600 px, 1,997 kg, 41 kW).
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 26 x 12 = 312 | 15.6 x 4.1 m | 19968 x 5184 | 1,404 kg / 3,095 lb | 27.6 kW, 133 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 32 x 8 = 256 | 16 x 4 m | 6400 x 1600 | 1,997 kg / 4,402 lb | 41 kW, 197 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 32 x 8 = 256 | 16 x 4 m | 4096 x 1024 | 1,997 kg / 4,402 lb | 35.8 kW, 172 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, W176 holds about 720 theater seats, 294 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 202 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 13.2 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
