Abstract
Apparatus and methods to control media presentation provide capabilities to capture a media event and process the media content captured in a distributed arrangement. In an embodiment, a media client communicates with a media production server to conduct a media capture event and to process media content generated from the media capture event in which the media production server controls the media capture machine that generates the media content.
