A2DVI: Apple II Digital Video Card

Video cards for the Apple II based on the PICO microcontroller are popular for a while now. They are cheap, consume very little power, and fit on a simple Apple II slot card. And they connect Apple IIs to modern displays. However, digital displays have conquered the world: their analog predecessors long since became retro devices themselves. Nowadays even analog VGA inputs are becoming rare. Which leads to the question: couldn't we make a PICO-based graphics card for the Apple II with a digital output instead? Use HDMI to replace the VGA connector? No more analog signal conversion required?

Spoiler: yes, we can! :)
