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 14 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 24 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 49 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 78 x 24 (15600 x 4800 px, 14,602 kg, 299.5 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, Nave holds about 5,148 theater seats, 2,106 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 1,448 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 42 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
