1. A method for pixel processing, comprising: determining, by a transparent format converter (TFC), that a request by at least one processor for data stored in a first data buffer is indicative of a request for the data in a first data format; retrieving, by the TFC, the data in a second data format from the first data buffer based at least in part on the request for data stored in the first data buffer; converting, by the TFC, the retrieved data from the second data format to the first data format; and storing, by the TFC, the converted data in the first data format into a second data buffer that is accessible by the at least one processor.
