Feature and improvement suggestions

Feedback from users like you help us shape and improve Eos for all productions. We receive a large number of feature requests and suggestions from many sources, including this forum. Your comments and votes help us understand which features you’re passionate about, but there are many additional factors which inform development prioritization for any given release.

The most helpful information you can provide us when commenting on issues is how a particular suggestion would help you. If you describe your use-case and how the suggested change would benefit your work, it lets us gain a much deeper understanding of the need behind the suggestion. Suggestions often have an impact on what we work on, even if we ultimately choose not to implement a suggestion exactly as it’s described. Our ultimate goal is to understand what you and all users need and to create solutions that meet those needs. Occasionally, that’ll mean implementing a suggestion as described, but it usually means working to understand the need behind the suggestion and how we can meet that need for as many users as possible.

While we endeavor to update and respond to popular suggestions, the volume we receive means there will be occasions when we can’t provide an update or response in a timely manner. For bugs and show-critical issues, please use our standard forums and support structures: https://www.etcconnect.com/Contact/Technical-Support.aspx

    I would like to specify a jpg to be used as a drop. It would look like a curtain in terms of manipulation but show a jpg that would have it's intensity and color modified by the lights shining on it.

  • User Default Option for Port Offset vs Absolute

    • 3 Comments
    I don’t understand why etc seems to default to absolute addresses in patch. I don’t understand who uses absolute addresses, unless they really hate typing “/“. Can we make port offset the default in patch, or at least give us the option to choose which...
  • Show Notes Tab

    • 0 Comments
    In searching through the request archives on this forum, this seems to have been suggested 8 years ago and Anne responded that it would be implemented back in 2.4, but it never was. I'm floating the idea back to the top. This would be really useful to...
  • Multi Console Messaging

    • 1 Comment
    It would be great if you could send messages between users in multi console set ups. This would be bennifitial for environments where our programmers cannot speak and would mean we wouldn't need to set up alternative forms of communication.
  • Save showfile to multiple paths with one command

    • 2 Comments
    I'd like a setting in shell or setup that allows me to specify multiple save targets, then a keystroke that simultaneously saves a version of my showfile to multiple targets (ie, on an Ion to specify to save it to the regular showfile archive and simultaneously...

  • Add a "Full Screen" option to every tab for temporary Full Screen viewing which could then easily be minimized back down without losing your carefully curated frame sizes and positions

    • 0 Comments
    While watching the A3d demo videos, and seeing the number of times (Rob?) was jumping back and forth between a smaller A3D frame in a series of frames vs wanting to look at full screen, I realized this is often a feature I want. With the addition of A3d...

  • Learn cue follow times

    • 1 Comment
    Hi! I would love to be able to use the learn button to record follow times into cues. Example: [Learn] [Cue] [Follow/Hang] and then it counts the duration between presses of the Go button and applies that duration as the cue’s follow time. A similar feature...
