I wish to have dmx control for the videoprojectors features like Focus / Zoom / lamp on-off via catalyst interface .

I know this is can be done right now with serial output , but the commands are not very easy to control via dmx , specially zoom and focus .

it could be nice to have fixtures library for some of the most common videoprojectors .

Also right now it will possible to use a box like this ?

almost no projectors ever had usable and repeatable zoom and focus control.
people keep trying - its still not quite right.

I once had some huge piece of zoom mechanism from digital projection in my kitchen - it never worked....that was a few years ago now.

there are some presets for controlling simple things on video projectors in the software.

you can use these type of things. some work better than others.
setting them up and configuring them can be trying- and requires a bit of network expertise.
