LED Content Size Calculator: planning guide

Calculate the native canvas

Multiply cabinets across by pixels per cabinet width; multiply cabinet rows by pixels per cabinet height. The result is the exact rectangular pixel raster to request from your media server or content team, assuming the configured cabinets have matching pixel matrices. Unlike a dimension-and-pitch estimate, this method uses the actual module addressing values.

Example: building an unusual wall

Eight cabinets across at 192 pixels per cabinet produce 1536 pixels of width. Four rows of 192-pixel cabinets produce 768 pixels of height. Your target is 1536 × 768, a 2:1 canvas—not conventional 16:9. Slides or scenic animation built for exactly that canvas avoid unwanted processing.

Using a 16:9 reference canvas

The reference result creates the smallest 16:9 container large enough to contain your full native LED canvas without cropping. The difference appears as spare border space. This is useful for layout planning, but actual processor canvas, splice modes and source placement should be configured to match the designed system.

Common questions

Can I use a different pixel density per cabinet

This tool assumes one cabinet resolution for the entire rectangle; mixed configurations need a zone-by-zone map.

What about portrait columns or broken shapes

Calculate each rectangular section and confirm the processor mapping for non-rectangular installations.
