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, ...)."
