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

  • Change Freeze FX behaviour to make data "recordable"

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • 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.
  • Query Absolute Value

    • 2 Comments
    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

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • Patch Cleanup

    • 0 Comments
    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.
  • CopyTo multiple targets

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great if it was possible to copy to multiple targets. For example [Cue 1] [CopyTo] [5]+[8] All to often I find myself having to go to a cue and record to multiple targets, because CopyTo does not work in that regard.
  • Disable Macro

    • 1 Comment
    Option to disable macro without having to delete contents or delete full macro. Helpful for organizing show file workflow - if you have magic sheets already made but want to disable functionality of a macro button without ruining the work of all the reference...
  • add icons to cues (like many other record targets) to show up in PSD

    • 1 Comment
    now that we have icons for many of the record targets, it would be helpful to allow them to cues as well. i'm aware that currently those icons are meant to show up in direct selects and cues don't exist there, but those icons could be a way how to add...
