About HDMI-CEC: CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is the control protocol found in HDMI. You may have heard of CEC in another form: Bravialink, Simplink or Anynet+ are a few other names depending on the brand. This adapter allows your HTPC to join that communication channel. Currently, almost all graphics cards do not support CEC in any form, and others only in a limited form. This device allows Kodi and libCEC to access the CEC communications link and send and receive control messages. How CEC works for you: The USB - CEC Adapter allows Kodi to turn your TV and other attached equipment on and off (if they support HDMI CEC) adjust the volume or eject the disk from a drive, start playback, etc. Likewise these same devices can tell Kodi what to do. For example, your TV remote can also control Kodi, or vice versa. This device means less clutter and an easier remote for simple control.
