'''DX''' ('''D'''igital inde'''X''') encoding is a standard for marking [[135 film|35 mm]] and [[Advanced Photo System|APS]] photographic film and film cartridges, originally introduced by [[Kodak]] in 1983. It includes multiple markings, which are a [[latent image]] [[barcode]] on the bottom edge of the film, below the sprocket holes, a conductive pattern on the cartridge used by automatic cameras, and a barcode on the cartridge read by photo-finishing machines.
