Projector specifications....

[Ivan R. Judson]

Heya Jonas,

Two things to consider for your dislike (one of which costs money, one costs
time).

1) Crestron e-control or AMX, these are systems that let you control stuff
from computers or touchpads (they sell software and components)
2) write little programs that poke the serial ports yourself, the protocol
is documented on proxima's website for most if not all projectors...

We do #2 fairly routinely now, but are interested in the cost-effectiveness,
and ease of #1.

Cheers,

--Ivan
