How to Choose the Right Pixel Pitch for Your LED Screen

Background to the SEC Upgrade
The Sydney Entertainment Centre (SEC) has hosted some of Australia's biggest live events for over three decades — from international concert tours to major sporting events and corporate productions. But by late 2023, its display infrastructure was showing its age. The venue relied on a patchwork of aging rear-projection systems and early-generation LED panels from multiple manufacturers, each with its own control chain, colour profile, and failure mode.
"We had five different control systems running simultaneously," recalls venue technical director Marcus Webb. "Every time there was a colour inconsistency between zones, diagnosing it was a nightmare. Before a major event, we'd budget two full days just to normalise across screens."
The venue's technical team issued an RFP in Q1 2024. The brief was unambiguous: a single unified control system, sub-pixel-pitch panels suitable for close audience distances, and a supplier with proven post-installation support in Australia. Linsn LED Australia was awarded the contract in March 2024.

Technical Challenge
The project presented several engineering challenges that would define the solution architecture.
“Constructive feedback works best when it’s specific, actionable, and delivered with care,” explained Svitlana Skalova, recruitment director at Mobilunity. “Combine human insight with tech support, focus on growth rather than criticism, and make the process a two-way conversation. That’s what turns performance reviews into genuine development opportunities.”

1. Time Management and Prioritization

• Suggest using structured focus techniques: Approaches like the Pomodoro® Technique help sustain focus through short, timed intervals of work (usually 25 minutes) with regular breaks. Encourage employees to experiment with structured focus techniques to find the one that works best for them. 

• Recommend tackling high-impact work first: The “Eat That Frog” technique involves completing the most challenging or important task early in the workday. This not only ensures the task is completed but also provides a sense of accomplishment that can boost productivity for the rest of the day.

• Reduce context switching: Moving between different tasks, known as context switching, can decrease productivity and create mental fatigue. For employees who struggle with this, suggest day theming. This productivity technique involves dedicating a day of the week to a specific theme, type of work, or set of tasks. For example, your team could use Mondays for meetings and Thursdays for creative projects. 

• Use Lattice Updates: Proactively track progress against priorities, flag obstacles early, and tie updates to key goals and objectives discussed in one-on-ones and performance reviews.

What's Next
The SEC has already initiated conversations with Linsn LED Australia about Phase 2: a floor-level interactive LED installation for the foyer and pre-show spaces, and integration of the main hall system with the venue's d&b audiotechnik show control platform for fully automated AV scene management.
