Transition Minimized Differential Signaling. An all-digital video transmission standard developed by Silicon Image, Inc. TMDS is the core technology used in DVI (Digital Visual Interface) and HDMI (High Definition Multi-media Interface.) As implemented in DVI, the TMDS standard is limited to 5 meters or 15 feet. There are no such cable length limitations specified for HDMI. Silicon Image markets this standard as PanelLink®.

Transition Minimized Differential Signaling(TM), the low voltage, DC-balanced 8b10b encoding scheme designed by Silicon Image which converts digital data into a serialized data stream that minimizes transitions of data to reduce EMI and power. TMDS serves as the standard encoding scheme used in the DVI, HDMI, and UDI interface standards, thus enabling cross compatibility of these
