About RTC.ON

We're back in Kraków for our 4th edition - 2 days of technical talks, a full day of hands-on workshops, and real conversations about the hard problems in multimedia development. We're here for the builders: the devs who've optimized something meaningful, shipped something tricky, or gone deep on real-time audio, video, edge AI, or streaming infrastructure. No fluff, no marketing - just engineers sharing what they actually learned. If it's hard, niche, or just really interesting - it probably belongs here. And once the sessions wrap up, we'll see you on the after party!

Call for Papers

RTC.ON 2026 Call for Proposals is open! Share a hard problem you solved, an optimization that made a difference, or something you shipped and are proud of. Topics range from voice agents and AI encoding to streaming infrastructure and beyond – but if yours isn't on the list, submit it anyway. Proposals close May 24.

Phone Cameras in Broadcast: From the Desert Stage to Millions of Viewers

At CyanView, we ran an experiment building a React Native Expo app integrated with our flagship RCP for professional camera remote control and color shading. That led us into developing a full 10-bit video processing pipeline for iOS and Android, bringing color science to the mobile world and bridging streaming with broadcast. The result was successfully deployed at a major music festival in 2026, where a leading tech partner couldn't distinguish between footage from a broadcast camera and a phone.
