I also would prefer to just trigger scenes/fades/changes from the Crestron to an external DMX controller/player.

You can do it in the Crestron controller, but you can get hickups if there?s too much going on at the same time.

I?ve used the Engineering Solutions DMX Engine before:

There?s also an option from Ultamation which can do internal fades and patterns.

You might want to look if this fits your requirements.

I'll be controlling AV with Crestron as well.
So, for example, when the push a button "Party", the music turns on, projector screen comes down with graphic visuals, and lights go to a particular preset with multi colors, chasing, etc.
