ABSTRACT:
In some embodiments, a device includes a bus, a parallel source, and a parallel sink. The parallel source is to provide parallel groups of signals including video signals to the bus, wherein the bus has a number of lanes that is fewer than a number of signals used to represent a pixel such that pixels are represented in more than one of the parallel groups. The parallel sink is to receive the parallel groups of signals from the bus, wherein the parallel sink includes a signal extractor to separate at least a portion of the groups of signals into multiple channels, and encoder and serializer circuits to encode and serialize the separated signals. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
