I dont think so.
After a brief look at the link, I think they only control Accom and Doremi servers over 422.
if they can output midi or OSC then yes, but there isnt any implementation to recall presets or control layers over 422.
Perhaps Richard will build this into catalyst if you ask nicely

If you are only looking to recall presets - then you may be able to do it by sending a MIDI command via 422

Technically MIDI is just a serial command. whether its transmitted by RS232, 422, or a MIDI device - its all the same info, just different electronics connecting it.

Not tried it - but it may work if you have a 422 adaptor connected to catalyst and patched to the MIDI preset trigger device.
Try send a midi serial command (in hex) from the controller.

I've done it with RS232 using a similar method and a USB keyspan adaptor.

This is a nice link to have. I have reviewed some of their products.

As far as using them with Catalyst, please let me know what you wish to achieve. I have several partners and we develop custom control hardware. It's actually quite easy to create a hardware control for specific aspects as long as the communication protocol is known and the objective is clearly mapped out.

If you let me know what you are trying to find then perhaps I can share a best-possible option.
