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 10.6 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 16 x 2 (3200 x 400 px, 250 kg, 5.1 kW).
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 14 x 3 = 42 | 8.4 x 1 m | 10752 x 1296 | 189 kg / 417 lb | 3.7 kW, 18 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 16 x 2 = 32 | 8 x 1 m | 3200 x 400 | 250 kg / 550 lb | 5.1 kW, 25 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 16 x 2 = 32 | 8 x 1 m | 2048 x 256 | 250 kg / 550 lb | 4.5 kW, 22 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, Kingbird Backroom holds about 63 theater seats, 25 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 17 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 3.6 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
