I'm using a Marshall V-SG4K-HDI
(http://www.lcdracks.com/racks/DLW/V-SG4K-HDI-signal-generator.php).
It does support 'user defined timings' (see
http://www.lcdracks.com/racks/pdf-pages/instruction_sheets/V-SG4K-HDI_Manual-web.pdf
Timings Details Menu page) and it looks like the max pixel-clock is
300MHz so perhaps I can create a timing that can't be locked onto that
way.
The TDA19971 datasheet
(http://tharvey/src/nxp/tda1997x/TDA19971-datasheet-rev3.pdf) says it
supports:
- All HDTV formats up to 1920x1080p at 50/60 Hz with support for
reduced blanking
- 3D formats including all primary formats up to 1920x1080p at 30 Hz
Frame Packing and 1920x1080p at 60 Hz Side-by-Side and Top-and-Bottom
- PC formats up to UXGA (1600x1200p at 60 Hz) and WUXGA (1920x1200p at 60 Hz)

sure, I will comment about it. I believe that is the way the it works as well.

hopefully I'll get to v11 later today.
