Kwikwai Bridges HDMI-CEC to Ethernet USB and Serial

[Mark McCall <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Consumer Electronic Control (CEC) is bidirectional serial bus that
allows components to control each other across an HDMI cable.  You've
probably already heard of this system without knowing it as each
manufacture gives it its own name, for example 'Bravia Sync' from
Sony, 'Kuro Link' from Pioneer and 'SimpLink' from LG.  With the new
kwikwai unit you can control your AV system from Ethernet with CEC
replacing stick on IR emmiters for example.  The unit also bridges CEC
to USB and RS232 Serial.  You could, for example, send a text string
to the OSD of your TV, perhaps to show the name of a caller phoning
you or that there's movement outside...
