10 +Controlling shades from ShowRunnerCLC™ is a paid feature that can be purchased either with the initial [[ShowRunnerCLC™ order>>doc:showrunner™ Order Guide.showrunner™ Additional Features.Shades.WebHome]] or added after-the-fact as an additional charge. When shades control or integration is ordered for ShowRunnerCLC™, it is vital to ensure that the BOM includes any required hardware is also ordered.

12 +While we strive to always provide accurate and complete information, bear in mind that we cannot guarantee that any information provided here will be 100% accurate and up-to-date: always check manufacturer product specifications to verify features and compatibility prior to ordering hardware.

16 +Crestron shades are included in all ShowRunnerCLC™ orders, but hardware will not be fully defined in the configuration unless the required information is provided prior to configuration shipment. If the required information cannot be provided with the original order, it is recommended to order [[SR-SDC>>doc:showrunner™ Order Guide.showrunner™ Additional Features.Shades.SR-SDC.WebHome]] for additional after-order Crestron shades support.

18 +ShowRunnerCLC™ provides native support for most Crestron shade controllers as well as integration with shades controlled from third-party Crestron processors via Ethernet Inter-Systems Communication (EISC). If integration with a Crestron shades controller or system that is not detailed below is required, reach out to Chief Integrations directly to see about potentially adding support to ShowRunnerCLC™.

34 +While most third-party shade controllers have proprietary integration protocols specific to each manufacturer and model, there are common industry standards which dictate the wiring and hardware requirements to integrate third-party shades with ShowRunnerCLC™:
53 53  
54 -== Draper IntelliFlex I/O A\V Gateway ==
36 +* Contact closure (Relays)
37 +** No standard specified length limitation (individual shade manufacturers may specify cabling and distance limitations)
38 +** Relay control can be susceptible to voltage drop or EMF interference: it is highly recommended to locate the Crestron controlled relay as close as possible to the shades interface being controlled
39 +* Serial RS-232
40 +** 50' maximum distance per specification
41 +** Point-to-point communication mandates a one-to-one relationship of Crestron RS-232 interfaces to shade RS-232 interfaces (i.e. there must be one RS-232 port available on the Crestron system for every RS-232 shade interface; depending on the shades design, a single shades interface may control many shades so it may be possible that a system with many shades only requires one RS-232 connection to the Crestron system)
42 +* Serial RS-485
43 +** 4000' maximum distance per specification (individual shades manufacturers may specify lower cabling and distance limitations, and real-world conditions may reduce the actual maximum distance that can be achieved before system performance is noticeably impacted)
44 +** Multidrop communications allows for daisy-chain and star wiring topologies, up to 32 devices per Crestron RS-485 interface (shades manufacturers may specify lower device counts)
45 +* TCP/IP communication (including HTTP/HTTPS, TelNet, etc.)
46 +** Standard [[Ethernet wiring limitations>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Troubleshooting.Ethernet Wiring Overview.WebHome]] apply
