MAX9406 :: DisplayPort to DVI/HDMI Level Shifter :: TMDS Signal Swapping

Question

Hello Team, 
 I am using MAX9406ETJ+ (DisplayPort to DVI/HDMI Level Shifter) for Dual Mode-Diplay Port (DP++) to HDMI Conversion. 
 As per Application Notes ( APPLICATION NOTE 4313), the output signals (i.e., TMDS signal (OUT_D4 & OUT_D2 pairs)) to be swapped like the following order as, 
 Input: D4 D3 D2 D1 & 
 Output : D2 D3 D4 D1. 
 From the above, It is observed that TMDS Pair D4 & D2 got swapped for HDMI Conversion at Output side. 
 Is it, The output of Signals (TMDS pair D4 & D2) to swapped for DP to HDMI Conversion? 
 Kindly do the needful, 
 Note: Application Note Image is attached herewith 
 
 Regards,

 Yes, As per the application note Video Display Signals and the MAX9406 DP-HDMI/DVI Level Shifter&mdash;Part II - Application Note - Maxim (analog.com) the lane 0 through lane 2 of the DP are mapped to channels 2 through 0 on the HDMI plug; lane 3 is mapped to the clock channel. Notice that signal parities are matched on corresponding channels. 
 
 Thanks,
