Interconnecting system, video signal transmitter and video signal receiver for transmitting an N-symbol data signal

The present application relates to an interconnect system for transmitting a stream of N-symbol data signals, which comprises a parallel data signal line bus, a line scrambler, a line de-scrambler and a defect detector. The defect detector is configured to detect one or more defective data signal lines. The line scrambler 110 is configured to accept an N-symbol data signal d having a sequence of data symbols in a predefined order and to output a permuted sequence d′ of data symbols at its N output terminals oj. The line de-scrambler is configured to accept the permuted sequence d′ of data symbols at its input terminal i′j, to restore the predefined order of the data symbols from the permuted sequence d′ of data symbols; and to output the restored N-symbol data signal d comprising a sequence of data symbols in the predefined order.
