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

    Please add a color crossfade fixture that can xfade between a ww and cw channel via a custom color temp virtual param (this exists in other desks and would be extremely helpful to those film&TV) And please remove the 12 virtual layer limit in pixel...
  • Add Support for Multicell Fixtures in Magic Sheets

    • 2 Comments
    I would love the ability to see and quickly/easily duplicate multicell fixtures in magic sheets with a single reference point, like if you could assign a "leader" channel to one object in a group to be the channel's master intensity and the rest of the...
  • Macro (and other) Names use across all areas in EOS

    • 0 Comments
    The "problem" is, i name a macro, load it on a Submaster and give this Submaster on a faderknob. And normal i expect, in the Field the Name for the Macro will shown. But i get only the Macro Number. I don`t know all 100-200 Macros i have only by Number...
  • Definable Zero Point

    • Planned for Future on
    • 7 Comments
    Can we make it so that we can re-define the zero point inside of A3D? Often my zero point in my drafting is a reference point rather than the center of my drawing. A3D seems to really like using the Zero point as a starting point for the camera views...
  • The ability to open multiple instances of Eos and view separate show files at the same time.

    • 0 Comments
    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.
  • Apex Screensaver

    There should a way to disable the screensaver. The screensaver should dim the screen instead of changing the color scheme. It should possible to set the timeout and dim level for all internal and external screens attached to the console.
  • Auto start/stop cue list

    • 3 Comments
    I would love an MA-like feature where cue lists can auto-start, and auto-release when you bring the fader up and down. This could help in a number of busking situations, and also prevent inexperienced operators from having additional cue lists playing...
  • Selecting Multiple Cue Lists

    • 0 Comments
    Being able to edit multiple cue lists at once would make mutli cue list environments much easier to manage. At the moment changing the priority on 50 lists at once is a long task. At a push also being able to select multiple cue lists outside the Cue...
  • Feature request: A proper, native toggle for magic sheets

    • 1 Comment
    For example, a button that alternates between two commands. You could then specify an icon for each command. Super useful for simple OSC RX Enable/Disable commands and similar functions. The copying macros around or cuelist toggle workarounds are just...
