An LED video wall is the most flexible big picture you can put in a room: seamless, bright enough for daylight, and built from modular panels so it can be almost any size or shape. We work out the right system for your event — a modular panel set for a ballroom stage, a taller wall for a lobby, or a mobile trailer screen for an outdoor crowd — supply it, and usually drive it from the same switch as the rest of your production.
Where an LED wall earns its place
Stage backdrop & scenery
- A full-width wall behind the stage for content, branding, and looks
- Speaker support, session titles, "up next" cards, and animated scenery
- Driven live from the show switcher so it always matches the moment
IMAG — image magnification
- The live camera cut on the big screens so the back of the room sees faces
- Flanking the stage, or one large centre wall
- Same cut as the [live stream](/live-streaming/), so in-room and online match
Outdoor & mobile
- Weather-rated panels or a truck/trailer-mounted screen
- Bright enough to read in full daylight
- Graduations, festivals, sports, community events, drive-ins
- Fast to deploy on site
Sponsors, concerts & more
- Sponsor loops, wayfinding, and lobby content
- Concert and performance visuals
- Trade-show and product-launch backdrops
- Custom shapes — columns, borders, split walls
Choosing the wall
- Pixel pitch to the viewing distance. Far audience (a stage backdrop) → a larger pitch, lower cost. Near audience or fine text → a tighter pitch. We work it from your room.
- Brightness to the light. A darkened ballroom needs far less output than a sunlit field; outdoor and daylight events need weather-rated, high-brightness panels.
- Size and shape to the stage design. Modular panels mean the wall matches your set — wide, tall, curved, or split — rather than the set having to match a fixed screen.
- Rigging to the venue. Ground-stacked or flown, with the weight, power, and safety planned with the venue.
- Content path. Processing that takes SDI, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs and scales cleanly, fed from the show switcher with a backup source.
How it fits the production
On most events the LED wall is not a separate rental — it is an output of the same switcher running the cameras, slides, and graphics, with an operator. That means the wall shows the right thing on cue: the camera cut during a talk, the slide when it matters, a holding card at a break, sponsor content between sessions. For graduations and outdoor events we pair the wall with bonded-cellular connectivity and backup power.

For smaller rooms and budgets, or where the space can be darkened, a large display or projection may be enough. LED walls are usually part of a conference or live-streaming production.
Frequently asked questions
- What size and shape can an LED wall be?
Almost anything. LED is built from modular panels, so a wall can be short and wide for a stage backdrop, tall for a lobby, curved, or split into columns. Indoor, outdoor, ground-stacked, or flown. We build it to your stage design and room.
- What is pixel pitch and which do we need?
Pixel pitch is the distance between LEDs, in millimetres — smaller pitch means a sharper image up close. For a stage backdrop the audience is far away, so a larger pitch (say 3–4 mm) is fine and costs less. For a wall people stand near, or that carries fine text, you want a tighter pitch (2 mm or below). We recommend the pitch from your viewing distances.
- Indoor and outdoor?
Yes. Indoor walls for ballrooms and stages; brighter, weather-rated outdoor panels or a mobile trailer screen for daylight, graduations, festivals, and sports.
- Do you drive the content, or just supply the wall?
Either. Most often we run the wall from the same switcher as the rest of the show — camera cut (IMAG), slides, graphics, and playback — with an operator. Or we provide and support the wall while your team drives the content.
- When is a regular display or projection a better call than LED?
When the budget is tight and the room can be darkened, a large display or projection can do the job. LED wins when you need brightness, a seamless image with no bezels, an unusual shape, or an outdoor picture in daylight. See TV displays.
