Osterreichischer Rundfunk, also known as ORF, is a state-owned company headquartered in Austria. Founded in 1955, it operates with an estimated 1,060 employees and reported $1.2B in revenue as of 2024, functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in broadcast television and radio. As the national public broadcaster of Austria, ORF is funded from a combination of television licence fee revenue and limited on-air advertising, establishing itself as a dominant player in the Austrian broadcast media. Historically, Austria was the last country in continental Europe after Albania to allow nationwide private television broadcasting, though commercial TV channels from neighboring Germany had been present in Austria on pay-TV and via terrestrial overspill since the 1980s.
ORF implemented MatchBox technology from Hitomi Broadcast as part of a large-scale migration to SMPTE ST 2110 IP-based infrastructure. This implementation involved a comprehensive timing measurement solution across the new infrastructure, facilitated by a partnership with VIDI GmbH. The news of this implementation was announced by Hitomi Broadcast on multiple occasions.
