Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for video frame rotation. The method includes receiving a first tile from among a plurality of tiles forming a video frame. The first tile includes a first plurality of macro pixels where each macro pixel interleaves at least one pair of neighboring pixels in a first orientation. Further, the method includes de-interleaving the first plurality of macro pixels into first pixels, mapping the first pixels into first rotated neighboring pixels in a second orientation, and interleaving the first rotated neighboring pixels into first rotated macro pixels forming a first rotated tile.
