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 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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

  • Shift Back Should Always Go Back a Cue Even During a Fade

    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...

    I spend an awful lot of time hunting down blank, useless channels in Patch and deleting them. It would be great to have a cleanup function that automatically gets rid of channels in patch with no address, no profile, and no data in the show file.

    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...

    Duplicate of here . I want to query the absolute value of a param. Say I have a fixture with tilt 90, I can `Query Tilt 90` and have that fixture selected, great. But if I store that same tilt 90 value into FP 1, and `Query Tilt 90` it no longer works...

  • Show Update Target in Command History

    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...

    While in patch with a fixture selected, in the center it shows the universe utilization, it would be helpful if when I timed in Channel 2 Address 3/ it would them change the universe utilization to that specified universe
