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

  • Feature Request: Magic Sheet Multicell SVG layers

    • 0 Comments
    It would be cool if there could be additional layers in SVGs that EOS Magic Sheets could respond to. Specifically for multi-cell fixtures, like I make a custom symbol in Inkscape for a pixel mappable fixture and I assign each cell as a different layer...
  • Add Notes to palettes and presets like you can add notes to cues

    • 0 Comments
    On location film sets I often have to match a color on the fly to a practical fixture. I’d love a place to put some notes about why I recorded this particular color that gives more details than I can fit on a label (especially if the label ends up on...

    A few improvements that could be made with the alert time functionality: Alert time on RFR apps - really helpful when having to run around and activate cues at the same time Larger alert time timer - it can be difficult to, at a glance, see how...

    It would be great to be able to scroll Table View with your fingers and even zoom on the touchscreen.

    I want to stop an effect and then be able to use sneak to have the channels run the effect again without firing the cue again.
  • Secondary [Shift] + [+%] and [Shift] + [-%] value

    • 1 Comment
    When utilizing [+%] and [-%], having a second customizable value can be helpful for finer control. For instance: [ +% ] = +10% intensity. (customizable) [ -% ] = -10% intensity. [ Shift ] + [ +% ] = +3% intensity (customizable) [ Shift ] + [ -% ]...

  • 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...
  • Eos Augment3d integration with Foundation Consoles

    • 0 Comments
    Allow Foundation rigging consoles to send their heights through PSN or OSC to Eos consoles and change heights within Augment3d Models. Allowing this would enable Pipes to move in Augment3d as they move on-stage. For shows with many moving line sets this...
  • 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...
