Osterreichischer Rundfunk, also known as ORF, is a State Owned company headquartered in Austria. Founded in 1955, the organization employs approximately 1,060 individuals 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, serving as the national public broadcaster of Austria. It is funded from a combination of television licence fee revenue and limited on-air advertising, making it the dominant player in the Austrian broadcast media. Austria was the last country in continental Europe after Albania to allow nationwide private television broadcasting, though commercial TV channels from neighbouring Germany have 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.
