APIX3 represents the third-generation transmission technology developed by INOVA, targeted at enhancing infotainment and cockpit architectures in vehicles. This series features transmitters and receivers that can handle multiple ultra-high-definition (UHD) video streams and Ethernet communication over shielded twisted pairs or quad twisted pairs.
APIX3 is uniquely positioned to meet the demands of high bandwidth automotive applications, supporting data rates of up to 6 Gbps on a single shielded cable and reaching up to 12 Gbps on quad twisted pair connections. This improved bandwidth allows for seamless transmission of multiple video and data channels, crucial for the sophisticated display systems used in modern vehicles.
The technology also emphasizes diagnostic capabilities, including cable monitoring for preemptive maintenance, enhancing the reliability and longevity of the overall system. Its backward compatibility with APIX2 ensures a smooth transition and integration into existing setups, making it a flexible and future-proof solution for automotive manufacturers.
