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

  • Time Palettes

    I would love the ability to assign discrete fade times for channels and parameters in palettes that can later be recalled. I see similar requests but none of this exact substance. I've had a few shows where I use discrete timing to make transitions...
  • Copy shutter information between groups of fixtures

    • Planned for Future on
    • 4 Comments
    When using systems of fronts and pipe ends, for example, copying shutter information in patch would be extremely helpful when focusing static fixtures in A3d.
  • Prism as a Parameter name

    Hello, i love to see "Prism" and all things related to it to see as a parameter name. Right now, all i have, is "Beam FX" in all the Fixtures.
  • Make position and orientation in A3D patch work with Recall From and Copy To

    • Planned for Future on
    • 2 Comments
    All the fixtures on a pipe will have the same Y and Z values, just the X value changes. For starters, the rotation could match it's neighbors. I would like to be able to do something like Chan 2 [thru] 10 {Position} {Orientation} [Recall From] 1 To...
  • Support sACN priorities per universe

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    It would be nice to set a priority on universe (or even channel) level in Eos, not only one general priority. Ideally this would be per showfile and device.
  • Learn fader and bump button movements with timing.

    • 0 Comments
    Have the learn function save fader movements to play back a "look" you just made while busking. And also in the same fashion playback using bump buttons you have tapped to make a flicker or random type strobe.
  • Flash Manual

    • 0 Comments
    Similar to when you hit [Shift]+[Full] or [Shift]+[Out], I would enjoy a shortcut that “flashes” all of my manual data back to its background state and then returns it to the previous manual value on release. My intended use is, say you’re editing a...
  • Patch: Add “circuit” as a new fundamental data input field in Patch.

    • Planned for Future on
    • 3 Comments
    Facilities that were early adopters of LED technology are getting to the point where fixtures and devices are going to begin to fail. The more information the console can provide about a fixture or device (without having to refer to a different set of...
  • get a swap function for parametres

    • 0 Comments
    be able to swap for exemple shutter b values and shutter d values (already tried to submit this idea, thanks to jackmill who corrected me first, my english betrayed me one more time)
  • View Channel Selection of a Different User

    • 2 Comments
    Many times the designer will want to be in the same user as the programmer, but all they really care about is seeing what channels are selected, they actively don't want to be dragged around in blind and to other tabs. It would be great if there was a...
