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

  • Playback Go Button(s) adjustable debounce to reduce unintended double-taps

    • 5 Comments
    A suggestion posed to us by a student joining our EOS training classes: It might prove helpful to allow the end user to select a waiting time between one hit of the GO button, and before next press would register. Depending on the speed of cue triggering...
  • Universal Color Palettes

    • 1 Comment
    Not a new idea, but since it keeps getting brought up I’m going to ask for it again. I can’t find another post about it on the EOS feature request forum, surprisingly. pretty pretty please. thanks greg
  • Attach snapshot to user

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • Magic Sheet SVG Symbol

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • Ability to Change Default Sub Settings

    • 2 Comments
    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.
  • Feature Request - Split Time Countdown Stopwatch

    • Planned for Future on
    • 4 Comments
    This was posted by Rick Martin a couple of month ago in the Forum but I thought I should add it to this list? https://community.etcconnect.com/control_consoles/eos-family-consoles/f/eos-family/30229/feature-request---split-time-countdown-stopwatch/99648#99648...
  • Fixtures types should show the address footprint [X] in all instances of that name

    • 0 Comments
    You can see the address count when choosing a fixture in Search, on the "Show" tiles, in the Fixture list...but when that light is actually patched, that footprint count goes away. Just for clarity and helping to make it easier to differentiate between...
  • Allow Custom Parameter Labels When Building Custom Fixtures

    • 3 Comments
    It would be nice to allow us to label parameters of custom fixtures to be whatever we want instead of using the stock library of parameter names. Sometimes the EOS list doesn’t have what I need and I have to substitute with something that doesn’t really...
  • Channels in Subs should be able to have discrete timing values that override on/off time on bump button press.

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • Allow [Query] {Marking} and {Marking} also for AutoMark

    • 0 Comments
    Query Mark and Query Marking currently only work with referenced marking. i would love to see those two query conditions also work with AutoMark. I assume that Query Mark should be the simpler of the two. it's those channels that show MK in the M cue...
