New Slide-Based Prompting
A flexible alternative to scrolling, built directly into HiWire. Get Slide Mode in the Latest Version of HiWire.
What is Slide Mode?
Slide Mode transforms your script into marker-based slides, allowing content to advance one section at a time instead of continuously scrolling.
It functions similarly to PowerPoint or Keynote presentation mode, but built specifically for live touring workflows.
Slides display clearly on:
- Video walls
- Background vocalist screens
- Main performer displays
Why Artists & Crews Use Slide Mode
Not every performer prefers scrolling text.
Slide Mode is ideal when:
- Background singers need stable lyric groupings
- Main artists prefer fixed verse and chorus blocks
- Operators are balancing multiple technical responsibilities
- Shows require clean, cropped output for LED or broadcast screens
Works Seamlessly With Multi-Layer Setups
Slide Mode integrates directly with HiWire’s multi-layer system.
You can run:
- Scrolling → Scrolling
- Scrolling → Slide Mode
- Slide Mode → Slide Mode
Each computer can display the format that best suits its role in the show.
Unlike traditional presentation software, Slide Mode keeps everything inside the live performance environment. No exporting, and no switching platforms.
Built for Touring, Not Corporate Presentations
Some operators rely on presentation tools for slide-based prompting.
HiWire builds Slide Mode directly into the prompter workflow, giving you:
- Real-time control
- Multi-layer compatibility
- SMPTE workflow support
- Touring-grade flexibility
Everything stays inside one system.
