Cabinet size, pixel pitch, and resolution

How pitch affects pixel count, physical size, and what your content team needs to know.

When to use this

Use when validating whether a wall fits a stage width or meets broadcast resolution targets.

Physical dimensions

Total width = columns × cabinet width. Same for height with row count.

Compare against stage plot, trim height, and sight-line drawings — WireFlow gives you numbers for that conversation.

Pixel resolution

Total pixels = sum of cabinet pixel widths × heights across the grid.

Example: 20 cabinets wide × 192 px each = 3840 px horizontal (common for HD-width walls at certain pitches).

Share final resolution with graphics and playback so content is authored at native wall size.

Pixel pitch and viewing distance

  • Finer pitch (lower mm number) — closer minimum viewing distance, more pixels, more processor load.
  • Coarser pitch — larger venues, farther audience, lower pixel count.
  • Match pitch to budget and content — do not over-spec pitch the audience cannot see.
