Multi-gigabit video through a moving joint
A camera on a moving joint must send multi-gigabit serialized video back to the base through an interconnect that bends every time the joint moves, and there is almost no room for thickness. How would you carry it? (State your own assumptions, for example a few Gb/s and a fraction of a millimetre.)
