Last modified by Alexander Mott on 2026/05/11 18:08

ShowRunnerCLC™ runs on Crestron 3-series and 4-series control systems.

List of supported hardware is not exhaustive, contact Chief Integrations for questions about particular models.

Minimum Requirements

  • Dedicated 3-series (DIN-AP3/CP3/CP3N/AV3/PRO3/RMC3) or 4-series control system, including VC-4.
    • Running other programs on the processor is not recommended.
