Osterreichischer Rundfunk, also known as ORF, is a State Owned company headquartered in Austria. Founded in 1955, the company employs approximately 1,060 individuals and reported $1.2B in revenue as of 2024, functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer. It operates as the national public broadcaster of Austria, with its main product being broadcast television and radio. The company's operations are funded through a combination of television licence fee revenue and limited on-air advertising, positioning it as a dominant player in the Austrian broadcast media. Its market position is notable given that Austria was the last country in continental Europe after Albania to permit nationwide private television broadcasting, although commercial TV channels from neighboring Germany have been accessible in Austria via pay-TV and 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.
