According to Sphere Entertainment, the venue’s Exosphere is the largest LED screen on Earth, at 580,000 square feet.
The company says Exosphere consists of about 1.2 million LED units, spaced twenty centimeters apart.
Each disc, according to Sphere Entertainment, contains 48 individual LED diodes, each diode capable of displaying over a billion different colors.
Nearly every clip shown at the iconic location is made in-house by a team of 40 to 50 members — including animators, camera operators, graphic designers and those who figure out how to place the various pixels in the right places — at Sphere Studios in Burbank, California. Review-Journal previously reported.
Clips featuring an emoji will involve a team of 15 to 20 people and will take one to two weeks to get the image up and running, according to Guy Barnett, who oversaw Sphere’s brand strategy and creative development before moving into a consulting role.
Clips that must be built from scratch can take a team of the same size four to six weeks, Barnett told the Review-Journal.
