Smart Rack Mounting System

Managing rack-mounted equipment is now more intuitive with our intelligent rack system that understands real-world mounting constraints.

Visual Rack Management

See exactly how your equipment fits in each rack with our new visual rack display. Each rack shows:

  • Available and occupied rack units
  • Equipment mounted at each position
  • Visual indicators for spacing and airflow gaps
  • Clear labeling of each rack unit position

Drag-and-Drop Mounting

Simply drag equipment from your library directly onto a rack. The system automatically:

  • Finds the optimal position if space is available
  • Prevents overlapping equipment
  • Maintains proper spacing based on equipment specifications
  • Shows real-time feedback during placement

Rack Organization Tools

Reorder your rack-mounted equipment with simple drag-and-drop. The system intelligently shuffles equipment to accommodate moves, just like you would when reorganizing a physical rack. Add spacing units for ventilation or future expansion planning.

Automatic Cable Length Calculations

Understanding your cable requirements is now automatic. StudioFlow calculates the exact length needed for every connection based on your equipment placement.

Intelligent Path Calculation

The system traces the path each cable would naturally take:

  • Direct runs for nearby equipment
  • Routing through cable management anchors
  • Accounting for vertical runs in racks
  • Adding slack for real-world installation

Comprehensive Cable Reports

View detailed cable requirements including:

  • Individual cable lengths for each connection
  • Total cable needed by type (XLR, TRS, etc.)
  • Cable summary organized by connector type
  • Export-ready lists for purchasing

Unit-Aware Measurements

Cable lengths display in your preferred units - feet or meters - matching your project settings. The system automatically converts measurements when you change units, keeping all your documentation consistent.

Project Summary Export

Generate professional PDF reports showing all cable requirements alongside your equipment list. Perfect for budgeting, purchasing, or handing off to installation teams.
