Plan view

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 21.8 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 34 x 8 (6800 x 1600 px, 2,122 kg, 43.5 kW).

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, GICC - Galleon holds about 869 theater seats, 355 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 244 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 14.8 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
