What is the purpose of Extron's CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)?

The purpose of Extron's Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is to enable communication and control between various HDMI-connected devices. CEC allows users to control multiple devices with a single remote control, enhancing the user experience by simplifying the operation of connected AV systems. For example, when CEC is enabled, a user can power on the TV, and the connected CEC-compatible devices such as a Blu-ray player or AV receiver can also turn on automatically. This streamlined control capability helps in reducing the complexity of operating multiple devices in a home theater or similar environments. CEC enhances interoperability and convenience between HDMI devices, making it a crucial feature in modern AV installations.
