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

  • 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.
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • Master for submasters

    • 1 Comment
    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...
  • Option to Show only Fader Status Display in Fader Module

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    To keep track on what Faders/Subs/Cuelists are currently running across multiple banks without loosing too much space, it would be nice to configure the fader module to only show the status display. Just like it does on the bottom part of the PSD for...
  • Basic Musical Objects

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    It would be great if we could get a handful of basic objects commonly found in concerts. Mic stands, keyboards, drum kit, etc.
  • Default Mark Time per channel in patch or per fixture type

    • 1 Comment
    Default Mark Time per channel in patch or at least per fixture type would be great as it would come in so handy when you work with scrollers and media servers / LEDs in the same show. That would be awesome!
  • Shift Back Should Always Go Back a Cue Even During a Fade

    • 0 Comments
    When I press shift back I want to go backwards a cue 100% of the time, I never want to stop an existing fade. When doing rapid edits I frequently encounter situations where I want to go backwards a cue and press shift back, but it just pauses the fade...
