k110 pro test & investigation use cases
diagnose CEC chatter
Kwikwai’s k110 pro web interface displays and decodes CEC messages exchanged between devices on the HDMI bus. It can also send messages.
This allows to discover what messages your devices support, to investigate any proprietary ones, and try control scenarios comfortably. Device manufacturers can of course use kwikwai as an affordable, CEC only HDMI test tool.
decode E-EDID
Kwikwai reads and decodes all the information contained in the E-EDID.
This includes the HDMI data block, with the sink physical address, as well as all the newest 3D related fields. The raw E-EDID is provided for copy pasting.
fine tune AV control scenarios
Kwikwai monitors some HDMI signals (CEC messages or HPD/5V state change) and react by sending a serial or CEC command.
Serial commands can be sent with a minimal interval of time and with a configurable delay.
In order to foster CEC exchange on the bus, kwikwai can simulate the presence of a device by acknoledgng messages.
k110 AV control use cases
control serial devices
Thanks to its controller feature, kwikwai is able to control devices through serial commands (typically beamers that are usually not CEC capable).
the video conference use case
For instance, it is possible to switch on a beamer and select the appropriate source at the startup of a video conference by detecting the sent CEC commands. And when the conference is finished, a standby command is sent.
control HDMI CEC devices
As a controller, kwikwai can detects changes in the HPD or 5V state.
the powerpoint use case
This way it is possible to switch on a monitor and select the appropriate source when connecting a laptop. The monitor is then switched off when the HDMI cable is disconnected from the laptop.
the TV box use case
It is also possible to switch on a TV set, and select the appropriate source, when turning on TV box. Depending on the configuration the TV may be send to standy when turning off the box.
k1-092 bridge use cases
drive HDMI CEC devices
Using kwikwai, your home automation system can control HDMI devices by participating in the HDMI CEC exchanges between them. This can happen over a telnet or serial connection. Many HDMI CEC capable devices answer to status queries, and are capable to process IR codes sent over CEC. In many cases, kwikwai can advantageously replace traditional control methods such as IR stickers and RS-232 ports.
the media center use case
A single USB cable between your media center and kwikwai is all it takes to power kwikwai and exchange CEC messages, for example to turn off the TV once the show is over.
