CEC stands for Consumer Electronics Control. Since the Frodo release XBMC comes with the new libcec 2.02 which allows control of the XBMC interface over the standard TV remote that comes with your TV. As buttons are pressed the remote command is sent via the HDMI cable to your XBMC device. CEC allows for control of devices over the HDMI port, which allows for things like:
- Controlling XBMC from the TV's remote control
- Automatically switch to the right TV input device
- letting the HTPC control what mode your audio receiver is on when the TV switches on
- Turning all devices off with one remote
- and a lot more!
The CEC function allows you to control up to 15 CEC-enabled devices.
