DMX512, also known as DMX to dry is the most widely used protocol in lighting today. The lighting allows lighting control in shows. The DMX can control multiple light emitting visual elements, such as cannons, strobe lights and others, from a single issuer.

A rack is a metal support designed to house electronic, computer and communications equipment. The measures for the width are normalized to be compatible with most equipment manufacturers. They are also called racks, cabinets, cabinets or closets. Each column has holes at regular intervals called U rack units (Pictured: 4) grouped in threes. The height (Pictured:5) of the racks is standardized and external dimensions of 200 mm by 200 mm. Being normal that from 4U to 46/47U height width types (Pictured: 7). Standard 600 mm or 800 mm Types of background (Pictured: 6) The depth of the frame is not standardized, as this flexibility is granted (Pictured: 8) to the equipment. The most common are: - 450 mm - 600 mm - 800 mm - 900 mm - 1000 mm - 1200 mm Type 19-inch rack can find various types of 19-inch rack. Rack Mural (Pictured: 2): Used to accommodate electronic network. They are the smallest and are anchored to wall. Rack Pie (Pictured: 1): They are used primarily for servers, UPS and network electronics. Open Rack (Pictured: 3): Open Rack Racks are available only modelsstructure, eliminating doors and other accessories.

The XLR or Cannon is a type of connector that usually connect balanced lines. In fact, it is more balanced connector used for professional audio applications, and is also the standard connector used in entertainment lighting equipment to transmit the digital control signal "DMX". His nickname cannon, for which he is best known in Spain is that the first to be used in this country, were made by theITT/CANNON brand, and carried "cannon" stamped on the chassis. It has three pin plug and European standard for audio signals is as follows: for the earth or mesh. for one-phase signal, known as a living or hot to the back or push-pull signal, known as return or cold. It is available in version 3-pin and 5-pin.

DMX512, often shortened to DMX (Digital Multiplex), is an electronic protocol used in lighting control of the light show, enabling communication between the teams control their own lights and light sources.

There are several cabinet heights according to the needs of the installation, this height can be measured in rack units (U).

Each rack unit or U is the distance between each horizontal separation to place the different accessories inside the rack. This distance is 1.75 inches that is equal to 4.4445 cm high.

For example, if we say that a rack is 8U we will understand that it has 8 units to install device orAccessories of 4.44 cm in height.

Normally these accessories, like trays, guides, strips, etc. Occupy a unit of U (1U), but we can find that other devices or accessories occupy more units, for example can be a rack box to install a PC, a UPS, etc. It can be said that there is also a half unit of U (0.5U), in this case, two units could be installed in a rack unit.

As far as I knowEndo the units of rack that occupy the devices that we are going to install we will know the height that we need for our rack.

The size of the rack unit (U) is based on the standard specification for racks defined in EIA-310.
