The third generation APIX3 technology addresses the increasing demands of new infotainment and cockpit architectures in automobiles by supporting multiple UHD resolutions. APIX3 enables transmission rates of up to 6 Gbps over single shielded twisted pair cables, and up to 12 Gbps over quad twisted pairs. This new iteration boasts enhanced diagnostic capabilities like cable monitoring and supports high-definition content through several video interfaces, making it crucial for advanced in-car video solutions.
APIX3 facilitates the transmission of multiple video channels on a single connection, supporting advanced cockpit architectures. It also integrates 100 Mbps Ethernet among other serial protocols, while offering backward compatibility with its predecessor, APIX2. A critical feature is the active equalizer that automatically adjusts to individual cable transmission lines, ensuring plug-and-play connectivity and compensating for cable aging and temperature fluctuations.
The technology supports full duplex communication, and through its scalable bandwidth, can be flexibly adapted from entry-level to high-end vehicle systems. APIX3 is instrumental in establishing seamless vehicle network systems and is engineered to be integrated effortlessly into existing setups with minimal reconfiguration required.
