Controlling the Display via HDMI OUT Port (CEC)
You can control a CEC-enabled display via CEC commands in any of the following ways:
• Controlling Via RS-232 (FC-18 Sends CEC to HDMI OUT) on page 14.
• Controlling Via Ethernet (FC-18 Sends CEC to HDMI OUT) on page 16.
• Controlling Via Front Panel Buttons (FC-18 Sends CEC to HDMI OUT) on page 16.
• Controlling Via REMOTE ON/OFF Pins (FC-18 Sends CEC to HDMI OUT) on page 17.
• Controlling Via REMOTE TOGGLE Pin (FC-18 Sends CEC to HDMI OUT) on page 18.
• Controlling the Display Automatically (Sending CEC to HDMI OUT) on page 19.
If your display does not include CEC features, you can send display on/off commands via the
RS-232 port (see Controlling the Display via its RS-232 Port on page 21) or the Ethernet port
(see Controlling the Display via the Network (Ethernet) on page 28).
Controlling Via RS-232 (FC-18 Sends CEC to HDMI OUT)
You can send an FC-18 CEC command to the display via the HDMI port by connecting a
laptop or controller to the RS-232 port on FC-18.
To control the display by RS-232 via HDMI:
1. Connect a controller to the FC-18 RS-232 port and the HDMI port to the CEC-
enabled display.
