Plan view

LED wall that fits

Under a 12.8 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 22 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 94.5 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 151 x 22 (30200 x 4400 px, 25,912 kg, 531.5 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, Broadbent Arena holds about 8,591 theater seats, 3,514 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 2,416 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 87.5 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
