Samsung IWA 1.2mm at a glance

The Samsung IWA 1.2mm is indoor 1.26 mm pitch LED with a 806 by 453 mm cabinet carrying 640 by 360 pixels. Each cabinet weighs 11 kg (24.3 lb) and draws up to 220 W.

Those four numbers drive everything else on a build: how many cabinets reach your target size, what the wall weighs on the rigging, how many circuits the distro needs, and what resolution the processor has to feed.

  • Pixel pitch: 1.26 mm
  • Cabinet resolution: 640 by 360 (230,400 pixels)
  • Cabinet size: 806 by 453 mm
  • Brightness: 1600 nits
  • Refresh rate: 3840 Hz
  • Typical processor platform: Other

Power and circuits for the IWA 1.2mm

At the 220 W peak figure, one 20A 120V circuit carries 8 cabinets and one 16A 230V circuit carries 13. Both numbers apply the 80 percent continuous load derate (NEC 210.20, IEC 60364), which is the same maths WireFlow uses when it sizes a real wall.

Size the distro on peak, not average. Average draw of 75 W tells you what the wall costs to run over a show; peak is what trips a breaker during a white flash.

  • Peak per cabinet: 220 W
  • Average per cabinet: 75 W
  • Cabinets per 20A 120V circuit: 8
  • Cabinets per 16A 230V circuit: 13
  • Input voltage: 100 to 240 V at 50/60 Hz

Worked example: a 4 by 3 wall

12 Samsung IWA 1.2mm cabinets in a 4 wide by 3 high grid make a wall 3.22 by 1.36 m (10.58 by 4.46 ft) at 2560 by 1080 pixels.

That wall weighs about 132 kg before rigging hardware and draws up to 2,640 W, which needs 2 circuits at 20A 120V or 1 at 16A 230V.

  • Wall size: 3.22 by 1.36 m
  • Resolution: 2560 by 1080 pixels
  • Weight: about 132 kg
  • Peak draw: 2,640 W
  • Circuits: 2 at 20A 120V, 1 at 16A 230V

Build this wall in WireFlow

The calculator above sizes a wall to your target dimensions with this panel's real cabinet geometry, then reports cabinet count, resolution, weight, and circuits. From there WireFlow can drop the finished wall straight into a diagram, already wired to its processors, and the cable schedule and power report update with it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pixel pitch of the Samsung IWA 1.2mm?
1.26 mm. Each 806 by 453 mm cabinet carries 640 by 360 pixels, or 230,400 in total.
How much power does the Samsung IWA 1.2mm draw?
Up to 220 W per cabinet at peak, averaging around 75 W in normal content. That works out to roughly 603 W per square metre at peak. Size distro on the peak figure.
How many IWA 1.2mm cabinets fit on one circuit?
8 on a 20A 120V circuit and 13 on a 16A 230V circuit, both at peak draw with the standard 80 percent continuous load derate applied.
How much does the Samsung IWA 1.2mm weigh?
11 kg (24.3 lb) per cabinet, which is about 30.1 kg per square metre of wall. A 4 by 3 wall of them comes to roughly 132 kg before rigging hardware.
Are these Samsung specs exact?
Estimated specs. Fixed install / corporate boardroom preset. Verify exact Samsung generation. Verify against the manufacturer cut sheet before ordering.
Can I design a wall with this panel in WireFlow?
Yes. Pick this panel, give it a target size, and WireFlow works out the cabinet grid, pixel map, weight, and power per circuit, then places the wall into your diagram already wired to its processors. Free to start with three diagrams and no card.
