Yeah!

Xilinx has a few app notes: xapp495 and xapp460.

A few more words: tmds is 8b/10b encoded. That means for every 8 bit value there is a corresponding 10 bit value (a 1 to 1 look up table).

It uses LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) to transmit the data 1/n In the case of HDMI it actually sends the clock as well (which isn't always the case for high-speed links - often they do clock recovery, but that's a topic for another day).

So there are 8 wires, that represent 4 unique signals: Red, Green, Blue, Clock 2/n
