HDMI CEC. (HDMI Consumer Electronics Control) A control function that lets one A/V component control another if they are connected via HDMI cables. For example, inserting a disc into the DVD player would turn on the TV automatically or the A/V receiver, if part of the system. Using proprietary brand names, HDMI CEC initially worked only when components were from the same vendor. Increasingly, HDMI CEC works across vendors' products. See HDMI.
Liv and Maddie Dove Cameron, above, plays twin sisters on Disney Channel, Sunday nights at 8, Eastern and Pacific times; 7, Central time. Credit Ron Tom/Disney Channel. Ms. Duke played identical cousins, one a sophisticate with a British accent, the other a classic American teenager from the early rock ânâ roll era. The setup of âLiv and Maddieâ is a bit different â the title characters are twins, both played by Dove Cameron â but the dynamic is the same. Maddie is a typical Wisconsin 15-year-old who in the premiere is elected captain of the high school basketball team.
The series stars Disney newcomer Dove Cameron as both Liv and Maddie Rooney. The series also stars stand-up comedian Joey Bragg and Tenzing Norgay Trainor as the younger brothers, Benjamin King as their dad, a basketball coach, and Kali Rocha as their mom, a school psychologist.
