There is provided a source device, which is adapted to communicate with a sink device through an HDMI cable. The sink device comprises an internal circuit, handshaking circuitry adapted to verify if the sink device is able to supply a current on a line of the HDMI cable, an internal power supply intended for powering the line and a switching circuit able to uncouple the internal power supply from the line and able to couple the internal circuit to the line. There is also provided a sink device, which is adapted to communicate with a source device through an HDMI cable. The sink device comprises a power supply, hand-shaking circuitry able to indicate that the sink device is able to supply a current on a line of said HDMI cable, and a circuit able to couple the power supply to the line. |
