For contact closure type outputs from the Dolby DSS200, one can program the GPIO port to function (note they are open-collector outputs, not true relay so some interfacing may be required for your dimmer).

For serial control, it is really easy, You get to define the output string sent on the serial connector for each light command...set it to match what your dimmer is looking for (if your dimmer can be controlled serially).

Lastly (and the most popular ways) are to use an automation interface that will connect to the Dolby serial port and provide relay closures (or Ethernet commands) or serial commands to the various devices. Companies like MiT, Strong/EPRAD, JNIOR and Film-Tech have suitable automations.
