Displaying masked data as a different type

Hi,

Is there any way to display masked data as anything other than hex? If not, is there any way to pad the displayed data? As an example I have a 32 bit integer with 4 masks:

0xFF000000

0x00FF0000

0x0000FF00

0x000000FF

I'd like to be able to display the results of the 4 masks as padded integers. Is there a script which would cover this?

A custom (scripted) data type could help, yes (examples: https://www.synalysis.net/scripts.html ).

Simply to create four masks with each one byte is not an option?

It's an image file format, and the data represents SMPTE timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF - 2 nibbles for hour, 2 nibbles for minutes, 2 nibbles for seconds, 2 nibbles for frames). This is related to my previous question on dynamic endianness (obviously a byte in place is a byte!) but I was hoping to be able to pad values under 0x10 to 2 places for each byte result - at the moment adding leading zeros to the mask doesn't seem to carry across.
