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

    It would be great if we could get a handful of basic objects commonly found in concerts. Mic stands, keyboards, drum kit, etc.

    Hello, I would love to be able to record groups while patching. In most cases we patch groups of lights in an order that we would eventually make groups. During patching the channel selection is already in the command line and could very quickly be...

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

    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 numerical shortcut for the "Standard Colors" (at least for color temps)

    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...

    Showing "Update" in the command history is not very useful, I would love to see what targets were actually updated. I want to know *what I updated*, to make sure I didn't update the wrong thing, and the only way to do that (after the fact), is to undo...

    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...

    This probably won’t be of use to many other situations Eos finds itself in, however in the TV studio situation I work this would be really useful! So let me explain the setup. 3 lighting galleries with Ion XE’s in. 7 studio spaces, all with different...

  • Auto start/stop cue list

    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...
