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

  • 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 ] + [ -% ]...

  • 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...
  • Allow Level to be a Preset

    • 0 Comments
    Live Rem Dim Level can accept a preset, allowing different intensities for different fixtures when they rem dim, this functionality should be extended to level. When I at Level a birdie I need a different intensity from when I at Level a 5K or a Lustr...
  • Toggle Effect status in tombstones and channel tables to more easily see what's underneath the effect

    • 1 Comment
    All too often it can be cumbersome to find what preset or palette is in the background of an effect. Often the effect label in the tombstone or table will truncate or completely obscure what's underneath it (for example, it'll only be able to say "Stop...
  • Disabling Output of Channels in Patch

    • 4 Comments
    Hi, it would be great to be able to disable channels without unpatching them. This would allow users to work with smaller portions of a large showfile, in my case, programming LED's in scenery via a Gadget II before loading the show onstage. This could...
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • Notes
