The brief called for a single, wide display that would read clearly throughout the theater. The wall was assembled from the stage floor, panel by panel, and tested before the event.
The client operated playback and added control and network equipment onsite. Several technicians worked together to run the show, coordinating playback with the other live systems.
The photographs show three stages of the work: the black LED face during installation, the rear frame and cabling, and the finished New York City image across the full wall.
“NYC Center Stage” is the event name. The installation itself took place at Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale.
GLMEDIA · OUR WORK ON THIS PROJECT
What GLMedia supplied and installed.
Ground-supported build
The wall was assembled and supported from the stage floor. This installation did not use overhead suspension for the LED display.
Power and video server
GLMedia supplied power for the LED system and a video server as part of the technical package.
Installation and testing
Panel assembly, signal and power cabling, alignment and screen testing were completed at the venue before the presentation.
Shared live workflow: the client operated playback and added control and network equipment onsite. The event was operated by several technicians working together, not by playback alone.
This ground-supported solution was designed for this stage and this screen. A new project requires its own check of footprint, floor loading, rear clearance, access and venue rules.
From the build to the finished screen.
Questions about this installation.

At Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on May 19, 2026. NYC Center Stage is the event name; this installation was not in New York City.
How large was the LED wall?
It measured 41 × 14.8 ft (12.5 × 4.5 m), with approximately 605 sq ft (56.25 m²) of LED surface. The wall used 225 panels in a 25 × 9 grid.
Who handled playback and live operation?
GLMedia supplied the LED system, system power and a video server. The client operated playback and added control and network equipment onsite. Several technicians worked together to operate the live event; the workflow extended beyond playback alone.
Was the screen suspended from the ceiling?
No. This display used a ground-supported configuration. For another project, the support must be planned for the screen size, stage, floor loading, clearances and venue requirements.
