[SI-LIST] Re: Routing diff pair HDMI signals at 85 Ohms as opposed to 100 Ohms reduces radiation?

Right now Company A optimizes for 85 ohm, Company B for 100 ohm and we 
have to make these parts talk to each other.
We end up with the worst of both worlds on our boards.  We have industry 
standards for a reason!

Thanks
