controling video projecor Focus / Zoom / lamp

[emilianomorgia]

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.

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

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

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

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.
