I think that there is no particularly advantage of implementing DVI
receiver and transmitter functions in FPGA. There are sophisticated
solutions on the market for that, DVI/HDMI receiver and transmitter
ICs are available for this task. These implementations are surely
compatible with the standard, so you don't have to care about e.g. the
eye-diagrams. Lot of circuits has features what cannot be implemented
in FPGA: e.g. high and adaptive input equalization on TMDS, adjustable
driver parameters, etc.
If you use a separate DVI receiver, then you got the paralell pixel
data and you can process it with an FPGA if you want. But if you
implement the receiver function in FPGA then - due to the complicated
standard - you will certainly not too much space to additional tasks
and functions..

well MGT can not do TMDS/DVI, only S3A can!

so you need to wait S6/V6 and hope they can do it

Oh thanks,

Sounds like there's noway around the MGT then, but it is costly $$$

answer is: it is not doable with S3A

In xapp460 the DVI/HDMI transmitter & receiver is implemented but the
max throughput limit to somewhat 750 Mb/s, which can handle up to
1080i or 720p resolution.  The 1080p, however needs twice of that

The question is how can we crank up the throughput to about 1.5 Gb/s ?
