Ten major European institutions consisting of three EBU Members, and several research institutions and manufacturers have developed and evaluated a complete end-to-end object-based audio broadcast chain centred on open standards and with a strong focus on real-world applicability. This is the EC ORPHEUS Project.

The ORPHEUS project published a Deliverable (D2.4) that describes its end-to-end reference architecture; an abridged version of this Deliverable has been made available to the EBU to create this Technical Report.

In Annex A there is supplementary information – in particular, use-cases – obtained from several sources, which can aid readers in their general understanding of the subject.
