I'm unhappy with the term 'bus format'. It's too close to 'mediabus format'.
How about calling it "bus protocol"?
How about:

   "It receives video frames on its sink pad from an input video bus
    of one type (HDMI, eDP, MIPI CSI-2, ...), and outputs them on its
    source pad to an output video bus of another type (eDP, MIPI
    CSI-2, parallel, ...)."
