TMDS — Transition Minimized Differential Signaling. An all-digital video transmission
standard developed by Silicon Image, Inc. TMDS is the core technology used in DVI and
HDMI.
Unicast — Sending messages from one device to a single network destination on a
network. Having N clients of a unicast stream requires the server to produce N streams of
unicast data.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) — A connectionless, transport layer protocol that sends
packets (datagrams) across networks using "best-effort" delivery. It is a relatively simple
protocol that does not include handshaking.
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) — A compression scheme that adjusts the output bit rate around
a specified target bit rate depending on the audio or image complexity. More bandwidth is
used when the video frame is more complex and less bandwidth is used when the video
frame is simple.
