Do you want to have fewer clicks and button presses to get into a game after booting up your Xbox Series X or S? Well this is the purpose of HDMI-CEC or Consumer Electronics Control. In this video Iβll explain what HDMI-CEC does, the requirements you need before setting it up and take you through the settings including the most recent update to HDMI-CEC on Xbox from earlier this year.
First off, what does HDMI-CEC Do?
HDMI-CEC allows your console to control other devices like your TV so that for example when the xbox turns on, the TV switches on and switches to the input for the console. The small but handy feature saves you having to bring up the TV input menu to find the one that matches your console.
So what is required to get this up and running?
Firstly youβll need an Xbox Series X or S with the latest updates installed
Secondly youβll need to have a TV that supports HDMI-CEC so check your TV or AV Receiverβs manual to confirm.
Next Iβll take you through the settings on my tv and on the XBOX so you can follow along and set this up yourself.
Your first step will be to enable CEC on the TV itself. In my case Iβm using an LG CX OLED and for whatever reason LG chose to invent their own creative name for CEC and refer to it as Symplink.
Navigate the menu as follows and enable Simplink and head over to the xbox settings to enable it there.
Once youβve enabled HDMI CEC on your display or AV Receiver head over to the Xbox settings to enable it there.
Check?? Youβll find this under Settings - General -TV & Display Options - Device Control.
The following individual CEC settings can be turned on or off by checking or unchecking the box next to each setting:
Console turns on other devices: Turning on your Xbox console will also turn on your TV or AVR.
Console turns off other devices: Turning off your Xbox console will also turn off your TV or AVR.
Other devices can turn console off: Turning off your TV or AVR will also turn off your Xbox console.
Console sends volume commands: The console can control the volume on your TV, AVR, or soundbar.
Last but not least is the
Switch TV input using controller option (this option was only added earlier this year and is super handy) :Pressing the Xbox button on your controller switches your TV input to your Xbox console (this allows you to quickly switch your TV back to console video without using your TV remote).
Once you have picked the options you want youβll need to restart the Xbox for the changes to take effect.
Now that youβve set up CEC youβll save yourself a bit of time and frustration. If youβre interested in knowing more about the rest of my living room gaming setup check out the video here by clicking or tapping the screen and Iβll see you in the next one.
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a feature of HDMI designed to control HDMI connected devices[1][2] by using only one remote controller; so, individual CEC enabled devices can command and control each other without user intervention, for up to 15 devices.[3]:βΒ§CEC-3.1β For example, a television set remote controller can also control a set-top box and a DVD player.
It is a one-wire bidirectional serial bus that is based on the CENELEC standard AV.link protocol to perform remote control functions.[4] CEC wiring is mandatory, although implementation of CEC in a product is optional.[3]:βΒ§8.1β It was defined in HDMI Specification 1.0 and updated in HDMI 1.2, HDMI 1.2a and HDMI 1.3a (which added timer and audio commands to the bus).[3]:⧧CEC-1.2,CEC-1.3,CEC-3.1,CEC-5β USB to CEC adapters exist that allow a computer to control CEC-enabled devices.[5][6]
The Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S (collectively, the Xbox Series X/S[b]) are home video game consoles developed by Microsoft.

About:
DualSense
The DualSense (CFI-ZCT1W) is the PlayStation 5s controller and was unveiled on April 7, 2020. It is based on the DualShock 4 controller that came before it but with an evolution to its design and capabilities influenced by discussions with game designers and players.
There are several differences in the DualSense that sets it apart from previous DualShock controllers:
The DualSense supports vibrotactile haptic provided by voice coil actuators integrated in the palm grips, and force feedback for the Adaptive Triggers provided by two DC rotary motors.[58] The actuators in the hand grip able to give varied and intuitive feedback about in-game actions for example, in a sandstorm, you can feel the wind and sand, and the motors in the Adaptive Triggers supporting experiences such as virtually drawing an arrow from a bow.
The DualSense has a two-tone coloring scheme (primarily white with black facing) and monochrome action buttons, marking the first time the action buttons for a standard PlayStation controller are not colored, although Sonys handheld consoles, the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable, both had monochrome buttons. It incorporates a more ergonomic design that is noticeably bigger, rounder, and heftier than the DualShock 4.[59] The light bar has been moved from the top of the controller to the horizontal edges of the touchpad, with player number instead being indicated by an array of 5 LEDs below the touchpad. The Share button has been replaced with Create with an expanded focus on creating content to share with others.[60]
The controller speaker has been improved, now providing a clearer sound. The controller now also features a dual-microphone array, allowing players to communicate with each-other without requiring the use of an external headset. With the addition of microphones to the controller, Sony also introduced voice typing to the PS5.[60][61][62]
The analog triggers now have a force feedback mechanism, allowing the controller to provide varying levels of resistance to the user depending on in-game actions. An example provided by Sony is being able to feel the tension of a bow string as the user pulls the trigger.[60][63]
Connectivity includes a 3.5 mm audio jack, USB-C, which replaces the microUSB port on the DualShock 4, and copper pins for use with charging docks.[64]
Its battery has been upgraded to a higher-rated capacity.[60]
Also, the black plastic piece surrounding the analog sticks can easily be removed, without requiring any tools.[65]
The DualSense has become a subject of a class-action lawsuit due to a perceived drift in one of the analog sticks, being litigated by the same firm that is challenging Nintendo for a similar drift issue in their Joy-Con for the Nintendo Switch.[66]
Microtexture
The DualSense has a unique microtexture. There are 40,000 tiny symbols (square, triangle, circle, cross) stacked on top of each other. Multiple designs were hand-drawn, digitized, and made as prototypes before the design team settled on the current design. The larger symbols are half a millimeter wide.")
