One embodiment provides a video transport system. The video transport system includes graphics processing circuitry to generate a video transport unit (TU) corresponding to a scan line of a first video frame that is unchanged from a second video frame, wherein the video TU includes a control sequence and an unchanged data payload corresponding to a defined number of pixels of the scan line of the first video frame. The video transport system of this embodiment also includes source tunneling bridge circuitry to generate a bus TU based on the video TU; the source tunneling bridge circuitry to parse the control sequence or the unchanged data payload of the video TU, and to generate the bus TU having a header that includes a field to identify the defined number of pixels of the unchanged data payload, and to eliminate, in whole or in part, the unchanged data payload in the bus TU.
