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

    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.
  • Feature Request: Automark-Off on per fixture basis

    • 1 Comment
    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...
  • 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...
  • 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.
