Chrominance optimizations in rendering pipelines

An apparatus for graphics processing at a server, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive data for each of a plurality of frames associated with at least one application, the data for each of the plurality of frames being monochrome color data or polychrome color data;
• render content associated with the data for each of the plurality of frames, the rendered content including at least one of monochrome color content or a luminance component;
• convert the rendered content associated with the data for each of the plurality of frames to a plurality of data packets;
• and
• transmit, to a client device, the plurality of data packets corresponding to the rendered content associated with the data for each of the plurality of frames,
• wherein the data for each of the plurality of frames is associated with a plurality of input channels or a plurality of input planes, and the plurality of input planes includes a luminance plane (Y) and one or more chrominance planes (UV), and
• wherein the at least one chrominance plane is at least one dummy chrominance plane, at least one placeholder chrominance plane, at least one stand-in chrominance plane, at least one artificial chrominance plane, or at least one fake chrominance plane.

A method of graphics processing at a client device, comprising:

• receiving, from a server, a plurality of data packets corresponding to data for each of a plurality of frames associated with at least one application, the data for each of the plurality of frames being monochrome color data or polychrome color data;
• converting the plurality of data packets to content associated with the data for each of the plurality of frames, the content including at least one of monochrome color content or a luminance component;
• performing a color space conversion on the content associated with the data for each of the plurality of frames, the color space conversion adding at least one chrominance plane to the content;
• and
• displaying, upon performing the color space conversion, the content associated with the data for each of the plurality of frames,
• wherein the at least one chrominance plane is at least one dummy chrominance plane, at least one placeholder chrominance plane, at least one stand-in chrominance plane, at least one artificial chrominance plane, or at least one fake chrominance plane.
