Ballroom Window Shades

IMPORTANT! - Do not rapidly change direction of the shades. Operation should immediately cease if and when it is observed that the shades are not lifting or lowering uniformly.

Window shades for each Ballroom are controlled separately via the wall-mounted black Crestron AV controllers located on the opposite sides of the house lighting controllers in each Ballroom. Note that if using the BR 1 main projection screen, shade should be closed to avoid washout of the screen.
