The third generation APIX3 is targeted to address the enhanced requirements for Infotainment and Cockpit architectures in vehicles. Those architectures support multiple automotive UHD resolutions in car displays.

The new APIX3 technology supports transmissions of up to 6 Gbps over one shielded twisted pair (STP) cable and up to 12 Gbps over a quad twisted pair (QTP) connection. 

APIX3 offers a number of unique features for in-car video, such as:

• Enables the transmission of multiple video channels on one connection (which supports advanced cockpit architectures);

• Supports 100 Mbps Ethernet and other serial interface protocols;

• Provides advanced diagnostic capabilities, including cable monitoring, for preventative detection of cable degradation.

It supports STP and QTP cable media. It provides scalable bandwidth, which means it can be used from entry-level to high-end systems.

The APIX3 technology is backward compatible with APIX2.  It provides full duplex communication channels, and an active equalizer to automatically adjust to transmission lines individually, thus allowing plug and play connectivity.  It also provides compensation for cable aging and temperature
