How do I interface an LVDS source (400mV pk-pk) to a TLK10081's CML input?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLK10081

I have multiple LVDS data sources (400mV pk-pk) I want to aggregate to a 10Gbps data stream using the TLK10081.  However, the TLK10081 has CML inputs.

I am not sure what to make of the TLK10081 datasheet spec posted below. 

What is the difference between VID and VID(pp)? That is, when do I use one vs. the other?

I think the spec is indicating I can AC couple my LVDS sources to the TLK10081 CML inputs directly as they are internally terminated and will work with any input signal with a input of at least 50mV differential.  Am I interpreting this correctly?

Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.
