Smashing Video / LED

LED video walls built around the event.

Smash Productions designs, installs and operates LED video walls for conferences, galas and corporate events in Washington DC, Maryland, New York City and nationwide.

Wide event stage screen displaying branded presentation content

The screen is part of the production.

A strong LED design accounts for more than the wall itself. Audience sightlines, screen content, cameras, the stage environment and installation conditions all shape the right approach.

01

Screen configuration & sightlines

Plan the screen dimensions and placement around the stage, room layout, viewing distance and presentation needs. A wide scenic canvas and a text-heavy conference screen call for different decisions.

02

Pixel pitch & content resolution

Select a suitable pixel pitch and define the content canvas. We coordinate aspect ratios, readable layouts and source resolution so presentations and motion content are prepared for the screen.

03

Processing, playback & live feeds

Connect the LED canvas to the required presentation sources, videos and live camera images. Processing, routing and switching are scoped around what needs to appear on screen and when.

04

Installation & live operation

Plan loading access, installation time, power, support requirements and venue coordination. The proposal sets out the agreed equipment, crew, rehearsal, operation and dismantling scope.

A clear plan before the wall goes up.

Start with the event requirements. The technical specification follows the room, the program and the content.

  1. Review the space

    Confirm the venue, layout, access and audience sightlines.

  2. Shape the screen

    Develop the configuration, pixel pitch and content canvas.

  3. Connect the show

    Coordinate processing, playback, cameras and cueing.

  4. Install & operate

    Build, check and run the agreed system through the event.

Useful answers

LED video wall questions.

What size LED video wall does my event need?

The right size depends on the room, audience sightlines and content. Presentation-heavy programs need readable text from the back of the room; scenic screens and live camera images create different requirements.

What pixel pitch should we use for a corporate event?

Pixel pitch is the distance between adjacent LED pixels. A smaller pitch generally supports closer viewing, but the choice also depends on content, cameras and budget. The specification should follow the actual viewing conditions.

Is an LED wall better than projection?

Neither is automatically the better choice. Ambient light, image dimensions, viewing distance, installation conditions and budget influence the decision. Smash evaluates those requirements before recommending an approach.

Can PowerPoint presentations and live cameras appear on the LED wall?

Yes. Presentations, videos and live camera feeds can be incorporated into an appropriately designed system. The content layout and switching approach determine whether sources appear full-screen or within a larger canvas.

How much does an LED video wall cost?

Cost depends on screen dimensions, pixel pitch, installation method, venue access, labor, processing, playback and operating requirements. An accurate proposal requires the event details and intended use rather than a screen-size estimate alone.

Do you offer LED video wall rental with installation and operators?

Smash scopes LED walls as an event production service, with equipment, installation and operating support defined in the proposal. Tell us whether you need a screen system or a broader video production so the responsibilities are clear.

Can you support another production company’s LED requirements?

Yes. Smash can provide specialist LED and video support within an existing production team. We agree equipment interfaces, crew responsibilities, content requirements and communication before the event.

Do you install LED video walls in Washington DC, Maryland and New York?

Smash supports events in Washington DC, Maryland and New York City, with nationwide production available. Venue access, freight, labor and local requirements are reviewed as part of the scope.

What should I send to request an LED wall proposal?

Send the event date, venue or city, event type and audience size if known. A room plan, stage dimensions, screen reference or content example is helpful, but you do not need a completed technical specification to start.
