CEC (CONSUMER ELECTRONIC CONTROL):

          One of the biggest challenges of technological revolution is creating intelligent devices that can communicate with each other. The CEC technology brings us one step closer to the dream. CE (CONSUMER ELECTRONIC) devices can automatically configure themselves and correct errors without user intervention. Using the HDMI frame work, CEC takes user experience to a whole new level. For example, you can connect your camcorder to your CEC-enabled HDTV and TV will automatically detect the device and display it on the screen. You can control your camcorder with your CEC-enabled HDTV. Same goes for DVD players and set-top boxes; you don’t need to switch remotes when you use different devices. Unlike DLNA, interportability is an issue here. You can control devices only of they have the same manufacturer.
