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

  • Relative Scale in Linear Effects

    • 0 Comments
    It would be nice to have the ability to make the scale of linear effects be +/- a percentage of the total intensity value of a fixture as well as being able to have it be +/- a fixed value as it is now, so we don't have to change the entire effect any...
  • Magic sheet editing with actual object label

    • 1 Comment
    I do a lot of MS editing. Currently, when editing, the lable just displays as "(Label)". It would be very helpful to me to have the actual label display when editing because oftentimes the label is bigger or smaller than the "(Label)" text and I need...
  • EOS Console Layout on IRFR

    • 0 Comments
    For the IRFR iPad app, can there be an option to use the keyboard layout of the Eos console? There could be a toggle between the Eos layout and the current layout in the console. I would find this very useful as I often find myself having a hard time...
  • Shift + Macro should post the macro keyword to the command line in live, for custom direct select assignment.

    • 0 Comments
    Hiya; as the title says, I think that Shift+Macro should insert the [Macro] keyword into the command line, so that you can assign macros as a target to custom direct selects (maybe there are other uses, but this one jumped out to me).

  • Feature Request: Sort/Filter Show Category in Patch

    • 0 Comments
    I believe I am one of many users who keeps a running list of all the fixtures I’ve ever used at the end of my patch, to retain “By Type” palette data for future shows. So in Patch, when I select a new channel and press “Type,” the Show category shows...
  • Go To Cue Timecode

    • 0 Comments
    When pressing the Go To Cue button, it would be great if there could be a new softkey for Timecode - where you could enter a timecode and Eos would put you in the cue you would be in at that timecode.
  • Color Palettes apply to same fixtures with parts

    • 1 Comment
    Maybe Im missing a setting somewhere, but I'd love to not be double doing my color palettes for Lustr 2s and Lustr 2s with Icues. The board thinks of them as totally different fixtures. I want to make a palette for the Lustrs and if they are used as parts...
  • The ability to remotely open a different show file from mobile

    • 0 Comments
    It would be really helpful in my workflow to be able to send a command to the primary console, from my phone, to tell it to open a different show file than the one that's currently loaded. I work in a repertory environment with specific cue lists for...
