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 Notes to palettes and presets like you can add notes to cues

    • 0 Comments

  • Renumber cues

    • 1 Comment
    I would love to be able to renumber all the cues in the show to whole numbers. The cue list would then be much easier for the caller and generally look good. The workaround of moving cues to some other number is just too tedious a task. Especially...
  • Channels on Magic Sheets using parameter fields should display labeled ranges instead of DMX values.

    • 0 Comments
    I know this can be solved by using references, but it would be great if labeled ranges could also be displayed (maybe as a select-able option). It would also be really great to be able to select field output in terms of user values as opposed to DMX values...
