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 16.9 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 30 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 49.7 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 79 x 30 (15800 x 6000 px, 18,486 kg, 379.2 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, Plenary 2 holds about 5,302 theater seats, 2,169 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 1,491 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 42.7 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
