Additional text view for the text data dump feature was added

Some of the DPX files, there are illegal data in their text fields after the NULL termination. To discover this situations we should have full data dump feature and also need to see them as a text string.

Bug fixed the strange data conversion for floating point data

In the previous all versions, there is a bug in operations of floating point data fields.

New header quality scoring feature

Version 0.0.1 to Version 0.1.0

The data dump feature for the metadata text fields

The data dump feature for the metadata text fields was added. Sometimes, these metadata fields are broken because the specification of DPX is not clear. The most important thing is that a text field is not a text string of C language. It means we should not use NULL termination for the text string. We have seen some types of the formats for the termination.

Additional information for the values

The previous version 0.0.1 doesn't provide any additional information for the values. For example, the value of the descriptor field have the meaning of the data elements. From the version 0.1.0, the additional information were added for the fields as shown below.

DPX Header Quality Checker (DPX-HQC)

The preliminary version of a very unique quality checker was added. Currently, we have only a few checks in the feature but will expand it for other metadata fields.

SMPTE time code and user bit

The type of these fields are unsigned int 32-bit. From the version 0.1.0, the tool indicates human readable time code.
