The Transition Minimized Differential Signaling [TMDS] lines are used on a number of interfaces, P&D, HDMI, and DVI to name a few.
The TMDS signal carries R,G,B and clock through
four differential pairs, which occupy 8 pins of a 19-pin connector [shown below].
The operational voltage is 3.3 volts with a trace termination impedance of 50 ohms, DC linked, CML based signals.
