An LED wall for the main conference hall
In Geneva, the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID) fitted its main conference hall with an LED wall of around 39 m² (11.52 × 3.36 m) at a 3 mm pixel pitch. The screen shows 3,840 × 1,120 pixels and splits into two screens on demand, depending on the event format.
168 cabinets hung above the stage
The wall is made of 168 cabinets of 48 × 48 cm, hung above the stage. Their light weight makes installation simpler, and the 3 mm pixel pitch keeps the picture readable from the front rows of the auditorium.
All About the IHEID LED Screen
The project in detail
Client: IHEID, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. Location: main conference hall, Geneva (Switzerland). Size: around 39 m² (11.52 × 3.36 m). Resolution: 3,840 × 1,120 pixels. Pixel pitch: 3 mm. Cabinets: 168, 48 × 48 cm each. Commissioned: late 2013.
Why a splittable screen in a conference hall
A conference hall hosts single talks as well as debates with several visual sources. An LED wall that runs as one or two screens avoids installing two separate surfaces and keeps a seamless picture when the whole wall is used.
