HDMI-CEC ADAPTER
Integrate our ever popular CEC technology inside your NUC, using the existing stock enclosure!
Our latest generation of HDMI-CEC communication hardware has been specically designed to t inside the
standard NUC enclosure between the WiFi mPCI Board and the Memory modules.
This adapter will allow your TV to turn the NUC on from S5 (cold boot) and S3 (suspend), additionally turning the
NUC on can wake the TV from its standby.
Remote control signals from your TV remote are sent via the HDMI cable into the NUC allowing you to control any
application on the desktop using the Up/Down/Left/Right keys on your TV remote control.
Deep integration with Kodi provides the richest experience possible. This adapter also supports EventGhost and
Windows Media Centre.
