Abstract
A circuit which transforms image data between bit-plane data representations and multi-bit pixel representations includes a plurality of sequential logic elements arranged as a matrix having columns and rows. Data values representing bit-plane data are stored into the columns of the matrix according to a first scheme and data values representing multi-bit pixel data are stored into the columns of the matrix according to a second scheme. Data applied to the columns of the matrix is shifted along the rows until the matrix is filled. The converted data is then read out along the rows of the matrix.
