Adopter Alert—Updated CEC Implementation Guidelines Available

With Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) already a 2008 winner of the PC Magazine Technical Excellence Award in the Home Theater category PC Magazine Technical Excellence Award, HDMI Licensing, LLC is finalizing guidelines to help manufacturers implement CEC. Version 0.9 (pre-final) of the CEC Implementation Guidelines (Ver. 0.9, January, 2009) is now available to HDMI Adopters for review and comment. The final version of the CEC Guidelines will provide a minimum set of recommended commands useful to consumers as well as guidelines for multi-vendor interoperability.

"CEC functionality delivers much needed system simplicity for consumers who face the increasingly daunting task of organizing and operating a complex set of products from a variety of vendors," said Steve Venuti, President of HDMI Licensing, LLC. "Updating CEC provides a foundation for products to work together in the most common use cases and should build consumer demand. This will enable our Adopters to develop additional features and functionalities into their next products."

To receive a copy, Adopters need to simply fill out the online request form. Upon confirmation of a company's status as an HDMI Adopter in good-standing, HDMI Licensing will send a copy of the CEC Implementation Guidelines within two business days.
