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

  • 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...
  • get a swap function for parametres

    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)
  • 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...
  • More Merge Options for Setup and User Settings

    • 0 Comments
    Unless I am mistaken Merge Setup will Merge all of Setup except for Show Control, Partitions, Processors, and Zones. I would like to have more granularity so I can Merge just the User Settings, and not affect any of the System or Device settings. Ideally...
  • Treat RGB pixels differently from normal 'channel' license counts?

    • 1 Comment
    Not so much a technical feature as a sales/marketing/product one, given the recent improvements in pixel mapping in Eos it would be nice to be able to take advantage of them in Nomad or smaller consoles with limited channel counts. The lower address...
  • Direct Select font size

    • 0 Comments
    Eos font size in some places isn't zoomable and can be hard to read. one of those places is Direct Selects. Could we please have a way to change the font size for direct selects? Eos is really careful not to add visual clutter and i love that. but 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Partition Column in System Settings/Users

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    When Partition Control is enabled, it would be useful in User Settings to have a column to be able to see what partitions every user is.
