Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a feature of HDMI designed to allow users to command and control devices connected through HDMI.

Hardware

CEC Bus can be found in pin 13 of the HDMI connector:

Protocol

It is a one-wire, bidirectional, serial bus that is based on the CENELEC standard AV.link protocol to perform remote control functions.

CEC is a separate electrical signal from the other HDMI signals. This allows a device to disable its high-speed HDMI circuitry in sleep mode, but be woken up by CEC. It is a single shared bus, which is directly connected between all HDMI ports on a device, so it can flow through a device which is completely powered off (not just asleep).

The bus is electrically identical to the AV.link protocol, but CEC adds a detailed higher-level message protocol.

The bus is an open-collector line, somewhat like I²C, passively pulled up to +3.3 V, and driven low to transmit a bit.

Current status

The CEC protocol decoder is capable of the following:

  • Decoding all low level parts: START, BITs, EOM, ACK / NACK
  • Resolve names of all logical addresses
  • Resolve names of all opcodes
  • Detect (and warn) timing errors
  • Detect (and warn) misplaced bits, etc.

Not implemented:

  • Operands of the opcodes are not parsed, only printed.
