Which HDBaseT scenario would work for this?

Hi folks

I'm looking for some help and advice on how to make a system like this work. I've done my best to try and explain it in the diagram but just to summarise here:

  • HDBaseT over Ethernet (CAT 6) between two rooms approximately 20m apart (multiple walls between)
  • HDMI 2.1 (4K 120hz) & USB running each way, so that PC can feed TV, PS5 can feed monitor, and KVM wired peripherals can connect to each (from the other room)
  • Default connections are PC > Monitor (DP cable), PS5 > TV (HDMI)

I know that there are HDBaseT boxes which support HDMI 2.1 and USB, but these are mono-directional from transmitter > receiver. I know I can simply unplug all cables and switch the boxes around when I want to reverse things, but ideally this would be done with hardware only.

Is there a single product that can solve this? Does it need to be a combination or switches and extenders? I feel I'm at my limit of understanding of this world so any ideas would be very welcome :)

Let me know if I'm not explaining anything well!

Cheers
