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

  • Add more colour options for macro buttons

    • 1 Comment
    Don't hide extra colours behind obscure colour combinations, instead lay them all out, add blue or even better a proper colour mixing system for macros, with the ability to recall macro colours from others.
  • Curve/Curve Editor Improvements

    • 1 Comment
    Howdy! I've been using curves quite a bit this week on my show - and I wanted to put my requests in a forum post. 1. I'd love a graphical curve editor - think dragging and dropping points to be able to make adjustments to the curve, rather than typing...
  • Multiple Augmented Sets

    • 0 Comments
    For film we could use the ability to have different augmented stages for each set we are on. This would help mitigate our build sizes as well as allow us to prep locations and other work. Right now throwing 50 movers and 500 lights into augmented is fairly...
  • Bottom bump button on inhibitive subs working as a flash

    • 3 Comments
    Hello, I control the intensity of my automated fixtures using inhibitive subs with intensity info coming from a cue stack. This is useful for me while busking specifically to be able to black out while manually running intensity effects. Using an additive...
  • Add virtual keyboard and encoders to iRFR/aRFR tablet mode

    • 0 Comments
    Add virtual keyboard and encoders to iRFR/aRFR tablet mode. The tablet could then replace the on-screen virtual keyboard in a Nomad layout allowing more room for other tabs or Augment3d to be run full screen. This would also be useful when using Nomad...
  • Gobo selection tool - stay or open in selected catalogue/section after picking gobo or when editing a unit that already has a gobo assigned

    • Planned for Future on
    • 3 Comments
    Currently (b315) when picking a gobo from a section such as Rosco > Steel gobos the gobo catalog resets to Ablelite . Likewise if I go into patch to change an existing gobo the Abellite catalogue is always shown. It would be better if the display showed...

  • Add click to focus into Patch > Augment3d for conventional units

    In this view it would be great if the white dot could be used to drag the center of the beam around, and if a long press anywhere on the model could be used to aim a unit that isn't currently visible from the camera position. tt2
  • MS object selection should respect border of object

    • Coming Soon on

    MS object selection should respect border of object I have hundreds of Magic Sheet objects and they are crammed very tightly together. When editing the MS and selecting multiple objects, the selection of an object doesn't respect the border of the object...
  • Augment3d Current and Pending

    • 1 Comment
    A way for a single machine (Even if not a desk but a PC in tether mode) to display Current cue and Pending Cue in Augment3d. Currently EOS only supports a single tab and from what I have found no way to show both. Could also add a shortcut to temporarily...
