MARKHAM, Ontario, April 18 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Digital Rapids Corporation is pleased to have been chosen
to provide media content processing technology to Starwin
Media Holdings Inc. (OTC: SWMD), a U.S.-based satellite and
IPTV service for the ethnic media market worldwide.
Digital Rapids and Starwin have entered into a

ownership stake in SMI subsidiary Stellar Mega Media, the
largest private media corporation in mainland China.
Starwin and Digital Rapids will work together to leverage
existing brand equity and global market presence to address
new opportunities and broaden penetration in the Asia
Pacific and worldwide markets.
Planned elements of the Starwin & Digital Rapids
partnership include:
* Participation in the building of a super head-end,
master control
studio center in the U.S. and mainland China to
produce, process
(ingest and encode) and distribute content
programming from Asia
Pacific countries to the ethnic media market
globally.
* Conversion (ingest, encoding and transcoding) of
the intended
300 (plus) aggregated channels to be ready for
distribution on IPTV
and satellite platforms.
