34.1	7	The ShowRunnerCLC™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 ShowRunnerCLC™ startup.
5.2	8
11.1	9	"Required" items are absolutely necessary for startup, while "Recommended" items are not strictly necessary but are good to have.
