Published dimensions

Hutton Room is 3.5 x 3.5 m (11 x 11 ft), 12 m² (132 sq ft), with a 3.1 m (10 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 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 3.5 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 5 x 2 (1000 x 400 px, 78 kg, 1.6 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	4 x 3 = 12	2.4 x 1 m	3072 x 1296	54 kg / 119 lb	1.1 kW, 5 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	5 x 2 = 10	2.5 x 1 m	1000 x 400	78 kg / 172 lb	1.6 kW, 8 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, Hutton Room holds about 0 theater seats, 0 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 0 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly -3.5 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
