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 4.6 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 5 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 16 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 25 x 5 (5000 x 1000 px, 975 kg, 20 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	21 x 8 = 168	12.6 x 2.7 m	16128 x 3456	756 kg / 1,667 lb	14.9 kW, 71 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	25 x 5 = 125	12.5 x 2.5 m	5000 x 1000	975 kg / 2,149 lb	20 kW, 96 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, Waterview - Pond Room holds about 382 theater seats, 156 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 107 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 9 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
