Replacing ADA 1616 IR remote with arduino uno

Other Hardware LEDs and Multiplexing
1

I have from ebay (Item # 251599128583) a 10 watt RGB led that is controlled by a ADA 1616 IR remote control. I would like to take the remote out of the picture and use an output of the Arduino UNO. Replace the IR receiver and send commands from the Arduino to the driver controller..

I realize I can start from scratch and build a full driver set and use PWM from the Arduino But this takes 3 address lines and the 16 functions from the IR remote control are all I need.

Any guidance? Please.

Thanks

Tom

What would be really useful is not only to use an Arduino to emulate an APA 1616, but also to use a DMX interface, so that external DMX commands could be used to have the Arduino control cheap color changing LEDs to operate under DMX.
