Universal De-multiplexing Tool
 
How dPlex Works

The dVPlex AVX plug-in was designed as a universal demultiplexing tool.  dPlex works in two modes:  manual and automatic.  In manual mode, the user manually selects the starting field number, then tells dplex how many fields there are per camera and how many cameras the footage contains.  dPlex will then isolate and display only the fields you have instructed it to, creating a sequence of shots from the isolated camera.  The manual mode works perfectly well for constantly rotating multiplex camera footage, but what if your footage does not have a consistent rotation of cameras? This is when you would use the automatic mode. With automatic mode, you tell dPlex where to start demultiplexing, then select a distinct area of the video (a piece of the video that remains the same throughout all the fields you are interested in) using a bounding box and tolerance controls.  dPlex will then attempt to isolate all the frames within the sequence which contain the distinct element you have selected. 

 

Below is a step by step rundown showing how quickly footage can be demultiplexed.  The program is remarkably easy to use, yet will save a forensic video analyst days of work.

Digitize your footage and apply dPlex, then open the effect editor

 

Select a unique, high contrast area in your footage and draw a bounding box around it.  Adjust the Tolerance.

Click on "render effect".  Your footage is now demultiplexed.
