1 +=== SHOWRUNNER™ Startups ===
2 +
3 +The SHOWRUNNER™ program has many features to simplify and streamline Crestron lighting control startups, reducing the amount of technical knowledge required and time spent on-site. Even so, there are a number of different software programs and tools required for a successful SHOWRUNNER™ startup.
4 +
5 +There is a baseline of software and tools required for all startups, but depending on the type of job, additional software or tools may be required.
