1. A wired communication link comprising a first transceiver and a second transceiver;
- the first transceiver comprising a transmitter operative to transmit, over a set of wires, a first multiplexed transmission comprising a first direction of a bidirectional data channel and lossless high definition digital video comprising pixel data, video clock related data, and video synchronization data;
the transmitter is further operative to transmit symbols of the first multiplexed transmission at a symbol rate that is unsynchronized with the video clock;
the first transceiver further comprising a receiver operative to receive a second transmission comprising a second direction of the bidirectional data channel, over at least a subset of the set of wires utilized for the first multiplexed transmission; and
the second transceiver operative to receive the first multiplexed transmission and regenerate the digital video timing based on;
the received video clock related data, and order in which the pixel data and the video synchronization data are received;
wherein the first multiplexed transmission is using a first modulation that provides a lower bit error rate (BER) to the first direction of the bidirectional data channel compared to BER provided to the lossless high definition digital video that is transmitted using a second modulation.

Abstract
A method of transmitting a data stream over a communication channel, the method comprising: providing symbol sets having different numbers of symbols; modulating data in the data stream that warrant different degrees of protection against noise onto symbols from symbol sets having different numbers of symbols, wherein which symbol set given data in the stream is modulated onto is independent of symbol sets onto which other data in the data stream is modulated onto; and transmitting the symbols.
