TOULOUSE, France - October 16th, 2007 - OpenCube Technologies, a company specialized in MXF-file formats, announces that it has signed an OEM partnership agreement with Digital Rapids Corporation which will integrate OpenCube's MXFTk® and MXFTk® Reader in its STREAM software suite. In doing so, Digital Rapids, a leading Canadian vendor of professional hardware and software for studios and broadcasters, will be able to offer its customers a solution with a full range of MXF capabilities. The MXF format has now reached maturity and its high level of interoperability is enabling the broadcast industry to significantly optimize digital workflows. In addition, the powerful MXF exchange standard provides all the tools required by encoding and transcoding solution providers for efficient media file exchanges and metadata management. Digital Rapids is a major player in the industry and is constantly on the look out for innovative and effective media products to streamline content delivery and enhance output quality. By implementing MXF in its StreamZ, StreamPro, StreamEnterprise and StreamZHD software suite, the company will be in a position to meet the growing market demand for "all-in-one" media processing solutions. In addition to the MXFTk®, OpenCube has added MXFTk® Reader (Direct Show Filter) for instant and easy MXF-file reading. The bundle enables users to efficiently manage digital workflows, from manipulating MXF-file formats -whatever their essence format- to real-time play back and metadata updating. Digital Rapids decided that the MXFTk® bundle was an ideal way of introducing MXF capabilities to its STREAM software package. It can be easily integrated in a short period of time and offers the Digital Rapids solution a number of complementary and very valuable features. "We selected OpenCube to make the leap to MXF and were most grateful to have OpenCube's technical support team to back us in implementing MXFTk®.

"We are very pleased at how rapidly the MXF file format is being adopted," says Benoit Février, CEO of OpenCube. "After IBC 2007, we had many requests from broadcasting companies interested in OpenCube technology and in solutions that would allow them to integrate MXF capabilites directly and professionally. It is a privilege to be working with Digital Rapids, clearly a leader in the field." About Digital Rapids
