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

    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...

    Is there any plans to improve the SVG Symbols system to be more finely controlled? There has been a number of requests over the years for this but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of official comment on these things ever coming. For reference...

    Dear people at ETC, I really appreciate having auto-mark functionality at hand. That said from time to time I stumble into situations where I would love to switch it off not for the whole Q but just for a (couple of) specific fixture(s). I know it´s possible...

    It would great to be able to change the default sub settings. For example, I always want record exclusive on. It would save time and headaches to be able to adjust settings once and just press a “set as default” button and not worry about it anymore.

    It would be nice to attach a certain snapshot to a user. If you switch users, you,d go to the appropriate snapshot for that users favorite screen layout. As with encoder templates, if you do not fill out the users snapshot number in settings, it will...

    Howdy! I've been using curves quite a bit this week on my show - and I wanted to put my requests in a forum post. 1. I'd love a graphical curve editor - think dragging and dropping points to be able to make adjustments to the curve, rather than typing...

    • 2 Comments
    I would like to see a new type of (master) fader added. A master for submasters. This master should act as an inhibitive master for only the yellow channels (those under control of a submaster). It should not affect any values coming from other targets...

    Hi there! I've been running into a lot of shows where I want to have subs that fire with a discrete delay in/out. Currently the workaround is to have a cue list with two or three cues -- the discrete delay on cue, the discrete delay off cue, and I tend...

    It would be great to be able to open two or more separate instances of Eos, particularly when using Nomad software, in order to compare different show files without having to merge them.
