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

    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...

    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!

  • Add a "Full Screen" option to every tab for temporary Full Screen viewing which could then easily be minimized back down without losing your carefully curated frame sizes and positions

    While watching the A3d demo videos, and seeing the number of times (Rob?) was jumping back and forth between a smaller A3D frame in a series of frames vs wanting to look at full screen, I realized this is often a feature I want. With the addition of A3d...

    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...

    It´d be great if there was an option to change the action of the load button of a submaster or a Cuelist.

    Hej Folks, I would like to run an FX on a couple of Movinglights, freeze them at a specific point and record that look as a preset or palette. Right now it will record the position data from which the lights started their effect if I do so. Make Absolute...

    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...

  • Channels in Subs should be able to have discrete timing values that override on/off time on bump button press.

    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...
