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

  • Apex Soft Keys - Option to remove the SoftKeys Menu from the Haptic screen to allow for more pixels to be utilised

    • 0 Comments
    As the Softkey menu is available on the main screen as well. Would it be possible to create an option to disable the softkey menu on the smaller Haptic screen so more Direct Selects or Magic Sheet Pixel space is available?
  • Feature Request: Magic Sheet Text Field/label Bounding Box Option

    I've saw requests in the past for Wrap Text in MS in the past, and I know you can currently do it by copying wrapped text from a text editor (nomad); so this may have already been discussed.It would be helpful if there was a checkbox option for each Text...
  • Multiple Show File Templates

    I work in a multi-venue location. When selecting new show from template, could there be a pop-up showing multiple templates, i.e. for each venue?
  • OSC support for backup & clients

    • 2 Comments
    As it is currently designed, backup & clients ignore incoming OSC. Would love to see OSC RX & TX settings moved into device settings so it can be enabled/disabled per-device.

  • Softkey Augment3d Patch

    • 1 Comment
    Hi, Would it be possible to have softkeys for Orientation, Beam Angle, Shutters and Beam Angle as there is one for Position already? This is specific to Augment3d patch and I believe will be useful for making macros for this.
  • 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.
  • Option in setup: break the link between Submaster number and Fader number

    • 0 Comments
    Very problematic when you already stored a submaster withva given number, and after create a submaster on a fader by pressing the load button of this number... With the break link option enable, submasters stored by pressing bumps work the same way...
  • UNBLOCK command

    • 0 Comments
    The current behaviour of the block button with channels specified goes back to the beginning of Eos, before that Obsession and so probably all the way back to Light Palette. Chan BLOCK enter will actually UNBLOCK a channel if it was blocked. It will...
  • Add Downloads to Quick Access Location for Nomad

    • 0 Comments
    When I download an asset I want in a magic sheet, it's in my downloads folder, this should be a quick access location like Desktop is.
