? Bidirectional powering enables power sharing between the transmitter and receiver over the same HDBaseT cable, reducing the need for a second power source.

Diagram Description: The document shows two connection diagrams illustrating the setup. The first shows the transmitter connected to a power supply, amplifier, player, and RS-232 PC, with an IR Blaster and IR Receiver connected. The receiver is shown connected to a 4K TV or Monitor, and an RS-232 Equipped Device. A Cat 5e cable connects the transmitter's HDBT OUT to the receiver's HDBT IN. The second diagram illustrates the bidirectional power feature, showing the transmitter and receiver connected via HDBaseT cable, with the power supply connected to one unit, enabling power to both.
