Abstract
A method for converting video data comprises providing video data in a first format, selecting consecutive pixel data corresponding to a line or fraction of a line of an image, and adapting a maximum length of a data packet to accommodate the selected pixel data. The payload section of a data packet exclusively carries pixel data originating from one single line of the source image. The method further comprises calculating a start address for a memory in a receiver beginning at which address the pixel data is to be written. The start address is added to a header section of the data packet in the transmitter. The data packet is transmitted via a network. In the receiver the pixel data is written to the memory beginning at the start address indicated in the header section. Video data is read from the target memory in accordance with a second format.
