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

  • Pull target labels into show control events

    • 3 Comments
    When a show control event is created/assigned to a cue, macro, etc. - a facility to automatically pull the label of that cue (or whatever) into the event label field in the show control list would be really good.
  • 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...

    • 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...
  • Add a numerical shortcut for the "Standard Colors" (at least for color temps)

    • 1 Comment
    It would be great to have a numerical shortcut for the items in the "standard colors". For instance, let's say "10" is assigned to standard colors, the same way for instance 5 is assigned to Rosco. This way, you'd be able to do "10/3200" for a 3200k color...
  • Logic and Conditions

    • 1 Comment
    I would love to see the addition of logic-based features in various parts of the Eos software. For example, magic sheet object formatting: If/then logic for conditional formatting “If <[OSC Tx]> is <[Enabled]> then <[ObjectFill] [00F00]>” Currently...
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • Using Augment3d to create a pixel map

    • Coming Soon on
    • 3 Comments
    Use a selection in Augmented to create a pixel map or multiple pixel maps representing different layers of fixture in the z axis. This might also require for a 3D Pixel map feature to exist.
  • Fixture Align Option

    • Under Review on
    • 1 Comment
    Add the option to align fixtures while adjusting their location. Allowing us to align lights in a line with our desired spacing, also allowing us to align the fixture in a circle. Settings would include control over x y z and spacing between lights...
  • 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...
