Abstract: Several implementations provide a system for sequencing, or cueing, content for presentation to an audience. One such implementation provides a low bit-rate system for use with, for example, a tablet. One particular implementation constructs a display plane including a first content source window indicating content from a first content source, and a timeline for sequencing the first content source into a presentation for a presentation device. The display plane is provided to a remote device, and command information is received from the remote device. The command information is for modifying the display plane. The display plane is modified based on the received command information. Another particular implementation receives the display plane, determines command information for modifying the display plane, and provides the command information to the remote device for modifying the display plane.
