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 68.9 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 110 x 2 (22000 x 400 px, 1,716 kg, 35.2 kW).
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 91 x 3 = 273 | 54.6 x 1 m | 69888 x 1296 | 1,229 kg / 2,708 lb | 24.2 kW, 116 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 110 x 2 = 220 | 55 x 1 m | 22000 x 400 | 1,716 kg / 3,783 lb | 35.2 kW, 169 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 110 x 2 = 220 | 55 x 1 m | 14080 x 256 | 1,716 kg / 3,783 lb | 30.8 kW, 148 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, The Pavilion holds about 10,362 theater seats, 4,239 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 2,914 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 61.9 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
