    Why so many? Its resolution is 16000 x 16000 which is a lot but also not that much. Is it doing more than just video output?

      The seats are haptic too. It takes forever to render the graphics apparently so maybe that’s why - not playback but rendering. Apparently After Effects will only go up to 12k?

      I’m not super technical but I have been to the Sphere. It’s awesome.

      IIRC, the interior of the main performance space is also covered in video wall, so add that to the pile.

      But, yeah… I doubt this power is for playback. My guess would be render farm.
