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

  • The ability to open multiple instances of Eos and view separate show files at the same time.

    • 1 Comment
    It would be great to be able to open two or more separate instances of Eos, particularly when using Nomad software, in order to compare different show files without having to merge them.
  • Swap Values Softkey

    • 0 Comments
    It'd be nice to have a "swap values" softkey where we could select two fixtures and have all of the parameter values from one apply to the other, and vice-versa. This is something that I am asked to do a lot, and the current macro-based way of doing it...
  • Expanded and clearer layout for OSC IP addresses & multiple port implementation

    • 0 Comments
    Hello, Is it possible to look at the layout for OSC IPs in Show Control/OSC in Setup? We are now in a world where rather than using broadcast, we're targeting specific IPs of multiple machines (a main and backup QLab, as well as a main and backup...
  • Make All EOS commands available in Macro Editor

    • 0 Comments
    I am sure that this came up some times, But i can't find it in the Feature Request. So here i go. Like to see every command that is possible in the EOS Software to be an option in the Macro Editor. Simple commands like "Up" or "Down", like "Fader...
  • Display any parameter data on a magic sheet

    • 4 Comments
    I'd like to have the ability to show the status/value down to the individual parameter level on a magic sheet and not just the category. For example - I want to see JUST the label for the beam palette that the Zoom parameter is in, without worrying...
  • Timestamp on Command History Tab [Tab 30] and Undo

    • 1 Comment
    Would be nice to have a reference of when a change was made for Command History and Undo.
  • Mouse/touch-driven interactive control on Encoder pages

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great if it was possible to adjust parameters on the encoder view in a similar manner to the ML Controls pop-up (e.g. hover over a parameter and use the scroll wheel to adjust the value) or perhaps enable a click-and-drag behaviour on the...
  • Make FX rate and size faders recordable

    • 0 Comments
    Changes made by rate and size faders are not recordable. When making changes with those faders, the rate and size numbers are not manual - and are therefore not recorded into cues.
  • Flash only option for fader buttons

    • 0 Comments
    I often have LED lights with all their properties (eg color, zoom) recorded to a submster that I then set to Int Master so that the NIPs don't change when I bring up the fader. However, by doing it this way, I am no longer able to use the bottom button...
