Announcing HDMI-CEC control with Xibo for Android and DSDevices DSCS9
Ever wanted Xibo to turn the TVs connected to your Players on and off automatically? Well thanks to DSDevices and the DSCS9, now you can!
Using the HDMI-CEC protocol, the DSCS9 Player can send a command to the TV over the HDMI cable connecting the two together telling the screen to power on and off. You can trigger that command to be sent directly from the Displays page inside your Xibo CMS, or via a Xibo Schedule.
We've published a guide over on our Community Site to help you get up and running with the new functionality straight away.
