Abstract
A data processor identifies a source format and a destination format of data. The data processor determines whether a fast data conversion path, such as a direct lookup table, is available to convert one or more portions of the data from the source format to the destination format, and converts the data using the fast data conversion path where possible. For portions of the data not convertible by a fast data conversion path, the data processor performs a two-step conversion process in which the data is first converted from the source format to an intermediate format and then from the intermediate format to the destination format.
