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

    Currently I have a direct select sheet open with a bunch of intensity palettes. When I need to make column names or row names or something in my direct selects, I use an intensity palette because I am often not using those for much anything in programming...
  • PixelMap Preview - option to view entire image with frame showing "crop"

    • Planned for Future on
    • 2 Comments
    Hello I find pixelmaps are sometimes awkward to get the full image, as I don't know exactly which bit of it I'm looking at. If in pixel map preview I had an option to see the whole image with a frame showing the current area being presented it would...
  • Magic Sheet Image Replace

    • 1 Comment
    The change type option in magic sheets is great, would love to see it extended to allow global changes. Change all circles to squares, or more practically change all of my imported VL3000 SVGs to Mac Viper SVGs. On the right click menu for imported images...
  • A web browser tab

    • 2 Comments
    There are so many devices these days that are used on the lighting network that have web config and status pages. Having a tab on the console would be so much quicker than opening my laptop, changing IP settings, and navigating to the device. Having a...
  • Cue Alert Time on Magic Sheets

    • 0 Comments
    I'd love to be able to put the alert time both as a field on my Active or Pending Cue magic sheet items, as well as an object in itself. Maybe the object could link to a cuelist, and it would show the next cue's alert time? Thanks!
  • Undo Sneak

    • 4 Comments
    When I need to use undo there is often a big jump in values. Sometimes, when I’m on a generator, that spike can cause a rev or sharp decrease. It would be nice to have a setting that gradually goes back when using undo.
  • Display labels, or colors, or Icons. on custom direct selects "Jump To" commands

    Hello all, Thank you for your phenomenal work on the new direct select system in Eos 3.1. I would like to use the "jump to" option in custom direct selects to switch between several custom direct select layouts I have made. I cannot do this right...
  • Group to respect filter

    • 0 Comments
    we can use Group Sub, Group Cue or Group Fader to select all channels that are part of that record target. this does currently not respect filters that may have been applied to the target. i think it should, or at least respective syntax should be provided...
  • A3D - Input conventional focus position in patch and view it.

    • 0 Comments
    Similar to how with moving lights we see an XYZ of where the lamp is focused at any time, it would be useful to input the focus position of conventionals with coordinates in patch rather than having to click and drag. It would also be great to see the...
