Configure the cabinet array and viewing distance, then simulate in real time the cabinet depth, unit extension and best viewing distance — in a draggable 3D perspective view where depth and stroke are clear at a glance.

Depth is the retracted total thickness (outdoor models include service space); add the stroke for full extension. Best distance is estimated at 2.4 × pixel pitch, for reference only.
The Kinetic Screen Simulator is a free online selection tool for kinetic screens (extending LED media facades). It answers three key questions before your design: which moving-unit model to choose, how large the cabinet array should be, and how much depth the installation requires. Pick a model and configure the array — the tool calculates screen size, unit count, extended depth and best viewing distance in real time, with a draggable 3D perspective view of cabinet depth and stroke.
Every parameter is adjustable: switch freely between six models (SPKI indoor / SPKO outdoor); array, stroke and viewing distance update in real time. Export the full configuration as JSON, or generate a branded A4 proposal PDF for internal review or client delivery.
Units, cabinets, stroke, viewing distance — read these and you'll know how to build a kinetic screen.
A kinetic screen is an array of moving units that extend and retract independently. Synchronized in rhythmic sequences, the surface carries both brightness and depth — a 'kinetic sculpture' effect a flat display cannot achieve.
Parallax relies on a sufficient unit count and a reasonable viewing distance: too few units and the motion lacks depth; too close and the unit gaps and cabinet thickness break the immersion.
Example: SPKI-250 (pixel pitch ≈ 1.95 mm) has a best viewing distance of about 4.7 m. Enter your actual room distance in the simulator above to verify the array and effect instantly.
A regular LED display is flat — changes happen at the pixel level only. A kinetic screen's moving units physically extend and retract, so the surface changes in both brightness and real depth, creating a far stronger visual impact. The trade-offs are thicker cabinets, required clearance for extension and higher cost. Always confirm installation depth and loading first.
Start with at least 100 units (e.g. a 10 × 10 array). Fewer units lack layering and the parallax is barely visible; with more units the transitions get finer. The simulator warns you and suggests a minimum array when the count drops below 100.
It depends on the model: indoor cabinets are ≈ 0.33 – 0.35 m deep retracted, outdoor ≈ 0.43 – 1.43 m (incl. maintenance space); add the stroke (0.2 – 0.6 m) when fully extended. Pick a model and array in the simulator and the 'extended depth' readout shows the total thickness in real time.
Estimate at pixel pitch × 2.4: SPKI-166 ≈ 3.7 m, SPKI-250 ≈ 4.7 m, SPKO-500 ≈ 25 m. Too close and you see unit gaps and cabinet thickness. Use ± 40% of the best distance as the range, verified at the actual main viewing position.
