What this checklist is protecting you from
What can go wrong
How we prevent it
- What can go wrong
The wall looks flawless to the eye but shows rolling bands on every camera.
How we prevent itRun panels at 3,840 Hz or higher and lock ShutterSync and genlock to the camera chain, then verify through the actual cameras before the show, not at rehearsal.
- What can go wrong
Content authored at 1920 x 1080 is stretched onto a non-standard canvas and every logo distorts.
How we prevent itThe pixel map goes to the content studio at T-4 weeks with exact resolution and safe areas, and we conform and review every file before build day.
- What can go wrong
Humidity works a ribbon cable loose and a column of panels goes dark mid-show.
How we prevent itCables are dressed and strain-relieved at build, connections are reseated after the first full power cycle, and five per cent spare panels and cards are on site.
- What can go wrong
An outdoor flown wall becomes a sail and the wind load exceeds the structure's rating.
How we prevent itA wind-load assessment is run against panel area and trim height, with a documented wind speed at which the wall is lowered or the show pauses.
- What can go wrong
The front row sits three metres from a P4.8 panel and sees pixels rather than an image.
How we prevent itPitch is chosen from the real nearest-audience distance, and where seating cannot move we specify a finer pitch for the lower sections only.
- What can go wrong
Average power is calculated from the spec sheet and the breaker trips on a full-white frame.
How we prevent itDistribution is sized for peak draw on white content, not average, with phases balanced across the panel grid and content peak-limited where sensible.
