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.

One hertz is one cycle per second, meaning repeating cycle as an event. For example, hertz is applied physics measuring the number of times for a second wave (either acoustic or electromagnetic) is repeated or can be applied, among other uses, to ocean waves that reach the Beach vibrations per second or a solid. The quantity that measures the frequency hertz is called,in this regard, the inverse of the period. One hertz is an oscillation frequency of suffering a particle over a period of one second.

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.

Although there are infinity tips as manufacturers or type of use, these are the most commonly tips used in the electronics industry, hardware or electricity.

1. Slot: Characterized by its flat and elongated tip.

2. Phillips: It may be the most used, its tip is shaped like a four-pointed star. Also called commonly screwdriver

3. Pozidriv: Like the previous model, but with a twist. Inside it has 4 slots in a star more.

4. Torx: Widely used in vehicles, its shape is a star with 6 points.

5. Security Torx: Same as above, but inside has a pin.

6. Hex: Point-shaped or hexagon Allen calls. Such tips are distinguished from the rest because they are able to withstand higher torque strength.

VAC would be the abbreviation of Volt Altern Current which would be translated Volts of alternating current. The difference between VDC is that its sinusoidal oscillation achieving a more efficient energy transmission.

The alternating current is the energy that we receive in our homes, it is generated in the power plants by means of alternators.

The intensity of this type of current varies with time, and changes direction 50 times throughsecond (50hz). The generated voltage changes in the form of sine wave so it is not constant.
