'''Transition-minimized differential signaling''' ('''TMDS''') is a[[technological | technology]] for transmitting high-speed[[Serial communication | serial]] [[data]] used by the [[digital visual interface|DVI]]<ref name=DVI>{{citation |title=Digital Visual Interface |url=http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/stc/FAQs/Video/dvi_spec-V1_0.pdf |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040423112052/http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/stc/FAQs/Video/dvi_spec-V1_0.pdf |archivedate=2004-04-23 |url-status=live |publisher=[[Digital Display Working Group]] |date=1999-04-02}}</ref> and [[High-Definition Multimedia Interface|HDMI]] video interfaces, as well as by other digital communication interfaces.

The transmitter incorporates a coding algorithm which reduces [[electromagnetic interference]] over copper cables and enables robust [[clock recovery]] at the receiver to achieve high [[Clock skew|skew]] tolerance for driving longer cables as well as shorter low-cost cables.
