Absen NX2.5 Verified Specifications (240 x 540 mm Cabinet)

The figures below come from Absen's published NX Series specification sheet and supersede the "requires manual review" placeholders above.

Absen NX Series Model Comparison: NX1.5 vs NX1.8 vs NX2.5 vs NX3.75

All four NX Series pitches share the same 240 x 540 mm cabinet footprint, 43.5 mm depth, 2.7 kg weight, 3,840 Hz refresh rate, 16-bit grayscale and 6,500 K colour temperature. Only pitch, resolution, contrast and power change - which makes it easy to switch pitch late in a design without redrawing the mounting structure.

Note that the NX1.5 uses a smaller SMD 1212 LED package, while NX1.8, NX2.5 and NX3.75 all use SMD 1515. The NX1.5 is also the only pitch in the range without a high-brightness variant, and its viewing angle is 150/150 rather than 160/160.

Video Wall Sizing: Panels, Resolution, Weight & Power

Because the NX2.5 cabinet is 240 mm wide and 540 mm tall, four columns of cabinets equal the height of one row - so any layout with four times as many columns as rows lands on an exact 16:9 canvas. Each cabinet covers 0.1296 m2 (1.40 sq ft), which works out to 7.72 cabinets per square metre, or roughly 0.72 cabinets per square foot.

Reaching native 1080p: a 20-wide by 5-high array of NX2.5 cabinets produces exactly 1,920 x 1,080 pixels on a 4.8 x 2.7 m canvas. If you need native 1080p in a smaller footprint, move to a finer pitch - the same pixel count needs only 12 x 5 cabinets in NX1.5.

Planning notes: the weights above are panel weight only and exclude mounting structure, receiving cards and cabling, so have a structural engineer sign off on the wall or floor loading. Size electrical service to the maximum figure, not the average - average draw reflects typical mixed content, while max is what an all-white test pattern pulls. Absen rates a maximum rigging quantity of 12 cabinets, so taller stacks need additional structural support rather than cabinet-to-cabinet hanging.

Choosing Pixel Pitch by Viewing Distance

Pixel pitch is the centre-to-centre distance between adjacent LEDs, and it sets how close a viewer can stand before the image breaks into visible dots. The long-standing integrator rule of thumb is that the comfortable minimum viewing distance in metres roughly equals the pixel pitch in millimetres - so a 2.5 mm panel reads cleanly from about 2.5 m (8 ft) and beyond. Treat this as a planning heuristic rather than a manufacturer specification, and confirm against a physical sample for critical applications.

• NX1.5 (1.5 mm) - closest viewing, for control rooms and small huddle spaces where operators sit within arm's reach of the wall.
• NX1.8 (1.87 mm) - conference rooms and lobbies with viewers from roughly 2 m.
• NX2.5 (2.5 mm) - the volume choice for corporate lobbies, boardrooms, studios and experience centres where the nearest viewer is about 2.5 m out. Best balance of resolution against cost per square metre.
• NX3.75 (3.75 mm) - larger rooms, auditoria and retail atria where nobody stands closer than about 4 m.

A second check matters as much as distance: content resolution. There is no benefit in a canvas whose native resolution exceeds what your sources produce. If the wall is fed 1080p, an array delivering close to 1,920 x 1,080 is the efficient target; going finer adds cost without adding visible detail.

What Else Your Absen Video Wall Needs

A quoted panel price is only part of a working wall. Budget for the following alongside the cabinets:

• Receiving cards - each cabinet needs a receiving card to convert the incoming data signal into LED drive. These are normally factory-fitted, but confirm the count and firmware version matches the rest of your wall when mixing new cabinets into an existing installation.
• LED processor / controller - a sending unit or video processor maps your video sources onto the pixel canvas and handles scaling, input switching and redundancy. Processor capacity is specified in pixels, so total wall resolution determines how many output ports you need.
• Mounting structure - a wall-mount frame, floor-standing rig or hanging structure, plus the alignment hardware to hold cabinet-to-cabinet tolerances tight enough that seams stay invisible. This is where front-serviceable designs earn their keep: the 240 x 540 mm NX cabinets are front-maintainable, so the structure can sit tight against the wall without a rear service corridor.
• Power distribution - circuits sized to the maximum load, with the panel count per circuit calculated from the 450 W/m2 figure rather than average draw.
• Data and power cabling - cabinet-to-cabinet jumpers plus the runs back to the processor and distribution. Redundant data looping is worth specifying for mission-critical walls so a single cable fault does not black out a section.
• Spare cabinets and modules - hold spares from the same production batch. LED binning varies between production runs, so a replacement module bought two years later may not colour-match, and calibration data is batch-specific.
• Commissioning and calibration - seam and brightness calibration across the finished array is what separates a professional install from a visible patchwork of panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many NX2.5 panels do I need per square foot or square metre?
Each 240 x 540 mm cabinet covers 0.1296 m2, or about 1.40 sq ft. That means 7.72 cabinets per square metre and roughly 0.72 cabinets per square foot.

How big is a wall built from these panels, and what resolution do I get?
Multiply the layout by the cabinet size. A 16-wide by 4-high array is 3,840 x 2,160 mm and delivers 1,536 x 864 pixels from 64 cabinets. A 20-wide by 5-high array reaches native 1,920 x 1,080 on a 4.8 x 2.7 m canvas from 100 cabinets. Any layout with four times as many columns as rows is exactly 16:9.

How bright is the NX2.5, and is there a brighter option?
Standard cabinets are 800 nits, which is well suited to controlled indoor lighting. A high-brightness variant rated 1,500 nits is available for lobbies and atria with significant daylight, and it also raises contrast from 4,500:1 to 7,600:1 at the cost of higher power draw (534 W/m2 max versus 450 W/m2).

Is the refresh rate high enough for broadcast and on-camera use?
Yes. The NX Series runs at 3,840 Hz with 16-bit grayscale, which is high enough to avoid scan lines and flicker on camera in studio and broadcast backdrop applications.

How much power will my wall draw?
Calculate from area: 450 W/m2 maximum and 150 W/m2 average for standard-brightness panels. A 3,840 x 2,160 mm wall is 8.29 m2, so about 3,732 W peak and 1,244 W typical. Size circuits to the maximum figure.

What is the difference between the 240 x 540 and 960 x 540 cabinets?
Both are the same NX Series panel electronics in different cabinet widths. The 240 x 540 cabinet weighs 2.7 kg and is front-maintainable only; the wider 960 x 540 cabinet weighs about 10.4 kg and supports front or rear module access. Narrow cabinets give finer control over final wall width and are easier to handle solo; wider cabinets mean fewer seams and faster installation. The 960 x 540 version of this panel is available here.

Which pixel pitch should I choose?
Work from your closest viewer and your source resolution. As a rule of thumb, minimum comfortable viewing distance in metres approximates pixel pitch in millimetres, so NX2.5 suits nearest viewers from about 2.5 m. Go finer (NX1.5 or NX1.8) for control rooms and small meeting spaces; go coarser (NX3.75) for auditoria and large retail spaces.

Is the NX2.5 suitable for outdoor use?
No. It is rated IP40 front and IP21 rear with an operating range of -10 to +40 C, which makes it an indoor-only product. Outdoor installations need a weatherproof Absen series instead - contact us for options.

Do I need anything besides the panels?
Yes. A complete wall also needs receiving cards, an LED processor or sending unit sized to your total pixel count, a mounting structure, power distribution, data and power cabling, spare cabinets from the same batch, and commissioning and calibration. Ask us for a full bill of materials.
