AXIOM Beta Module

• https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Beta_HDMI_Plugin_Module
• https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Axiom_Beta_Plugin_Module_1x_HDMI_v0.8

Specs

• 1080p60
• Proven working on AXIOM with a Zynq chip
• Allows usage on any LVDS bank voltage
• Uses an NXP Semiconductors PTN3363
• Provides equalization / amplification
• Unidirectional - Output only

PTN3363 is a low power, high-speed level shifter device which converts four lanes of low-swing AC-coupled differential input signals to DVI v1.0 and HDMI v1.4b compliant open-drain current-steering differential output signals, up to 3.4 Gbit/s per lane to support 36-bit deep color mode, 4K  2K video format or 3D video data transport. Each of these lanes provides a level-shifting differential active buffer, with built-in Equalization, to translate from low-swing AC-coupled differential signaling on the source side, to TMDS-type DC-coupled differential current-mode signaling terminated into 50  to 3.3 V on the sink side.
