4) Resolution & Pixel Configuration

Final canvas resolution and aspect ratio are determined by cabinet layout (columns × rows). Cabinet pixel matrices below are used during design and processing configuration.

Cabinet Orientation Pixel Matrix (W × H)
Portrait 256 × 512
Landscape 512 × 256
Tip: For fast estimating, multiply cabinet pixels by layout count (e.g., 12 wide × 3 high in portrait = (12×256) × (3×512) = 3072 × 1536).

6) Standard DCAV Video Wall Configurations

Below are proven “target layouts” that map cleanly to common staging footprints. All resolutions assume portrait cabinet orientation (256 × 512 per cabinet).

A) 20 ft × 10 ft Class

12 wide × 3 high

Cabinets: 36
Physical size: 6.0 m × 3.0 m (≈ 19.7 ft × 9.8 ft)
Resolution: 3072 × 1536

B) 30 ft × 7 ft Class

18 wide × 2 high

Cabinets: 36
Physical size: 9.0 m × 2.0 m (≈ 29.5 ft × 6.6 ft)
Resolution: 4608 × 1024

C) Full System + Side Columns

Main: 12 × 3 + Sides: (1 × 3) + (1 × 3)

Cabinets: 42 (full system)
Overall size: 7.0 m × 3.0 m (≈ 23.0 ft × 9.8 ft)
Main canvas: 3072 × 1536
Total canvas: 3584 × 1536

Need a custom canvas (ultra-wide, vertical “totem” columns, or corner wrap)? We’ll map cabinet counts to the exact pixel canvas, processor routing, and power distribution for your venue and run-of-show.

7) Power & Electrical

Average: ~120 W/m² Average: ~60 W per cabinet Average: ~2.5 kW total (42 cabinets) Max: ~400 W/m² Max: ~200 W per cabinet Max: ~8.4 kW total (42 cabinets)
Supply Average Draw Maximum Draw
120 V ~21 A ~70 A
230 V ~11 A ~37 A
Electrical design should follow the 80% continuous load rule for code-compliant operation.
