Pentland Auditorium at Edinburgh International Conference Centre

Published dimensions

Pentland Auditorium is 24.6 x 24.6 m (81 x 81 ft), 605 m² (6,514 sq ft), with a 5 m (16 ft) ceiling.

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 5 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 6 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 24.6 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 39 x 6 (7800 x 1200 px, 1,825 kg, 37.4 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	32 x 9 = 288	19.2 x 3 m	24576 x 3888	1,296 kg / 2,857 lb	25.5 kW, 123 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	39 x 6 = 234	19.5 x 3 m	7800 x 1200	1,825 kg / 4,024 lb	37.4 kW, 180 A @ 208 V
Absen PL3.9 Plus V2	3.9 mm	39 x 6 = 234	19.5 x 3 m	4992 x 768	1,825 kg / 4,024 lb	32.8 kW, 158 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, Pentland Auditorium holds about 1,158 theater seats, 473 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 325 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 17.6 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
