The EBU's open-source OGraf project is gaining traction among European broadcasters like TV 2 Danmark, YLE, and SVT for standardizing HTML-based broadcast graphics. The initiative provides a vendor-agnostic, modular framework that enables interactive, device-agnostic rendering for live production environments.
The shift toward HTML-based graphics represents a move away from proprietary hardware stacks that have historically locked broadcasters into single-vendor ecosystems. By enabling device-side rendering, OGraf allows for responsive layouts that adapt to 9:16 mobile feeds or 16:9 traditional broadcasts without manual reformatting. This modularity reduces production overhead while improving accessibility through resizable UI elements for visually impaired users. As more vendors like Neton.live and Superfly.tv integrate support, the industry moves closer to a unified graphics manifest that works across social media, web, and linear TV. Watch for the adoption rate of the new control API among legacy hardware vendors to gauge the project's long-term interoperability success.
The EBU OGraf project is gaining traction as major broadcasters like TV 2 Danmark, YLE, and SVT adopt its HTML-based graphics framework. By moving away from proprietary hardware to device-side rendering, the initiative enables responsive, modular workflows that adapt across mobile and linear platforms, significantly reducing production overhead and improving accessibility.
OGraf is an open-source graphics standardization project that uses HTML-based Web Components to decouple graphics creation from specific playback hardware, allowing for responsive rendering across different devices.
Major European broadcasters including TV 2 Danmark, YLE, and SVT have adopted the OGraf framework for their live production workflows.
It reduces reliance on proprietary hardware, enables responsive layouts for various screen formats like 9:16 and 16:9, and lowers production overhead by allowing designers to export graphics directly from tools like Adobe After Effects.
Creators can use a StreamShapers plugin for Adobe After Effects, as well as open-source and WYSIWYG tools released by Zero Density and Loopic to lower the barrier to entry.
