Description[edit]

The tool validates the following set of header fields in a DPX file:

  • Magic number of 'SDPX' or 'XPDS' for reversed byte order.
  • A valid image data offset value.
  • Header format version number as 'V2.0'.
  • DPX file size in header matches what filesystem shows.
  • Encryption key is undefined and therefore image is unencrypted.

For more information about DPX, see the SMPTE standard ST 268-1:2014: File Format for Digital Moving-Picture Exchange (DPX).
