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

  • Tab Navigation for Macro Editing

    • 2 Comments
    In order to change tabs in a macro there needs to be a TAB_DOWN [#] TAB_UP but that can only be done when recording. It would be really great if it could be added after the fact, if forgotten. What brought this up for me was trying to make a patch macro...
  • Label Presets/Suggestions

    • 1 Comment
    I would love the ability to choose from presets when labeling things. For example. when labeling a cue, if it could have preset buttons on screen to choose from, such as "Blackout" or "B/O", "Button", "Restore", "Move DS"... so on. It would be nice to...
  • Two colors for Magic Sheet Objects

    • 1 Comment
    I choose the Square for a Channel. Give this square the color green for 100% at this Channel. But i can´t give color red for off for this channel. For On-Off-Switches it can help see the status better.

  • Cells intensity modified by master in Magic Sheet

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great if the cell intensity in a Magic Sheet object was modified by the virtual intensity master, allowing the MS object to show the actual output of the cell. Currently if a cell is at full, but the virtual master is at zero, the cell shows...
  • Timecode Mute

    • 0 Comments
    When going through a cue range and adding follows to make it callable for a human in the event of a timecode failure, it would be great to be able to keep the timecode on a cue but have it 'muted'. This would also be useful for when a cut is made and...
  • Tracking/QOnly per cue list instead of per user

    I'd like to switch between tracking and QOnly per cue list. See here: https://community.etcconnect.com/control_consoles/eos-family-consoles/f/eos-family/53660/cue-list-properties/174585
  • Groups over 9999

    • 0 Comments
    Hello, I would like to have group numbers above 9999. Since I can have channels well above that I typically make group numbers that have a relationship to their channel numbers. For instance, channels 13001 - 13125 would be group 13001, but I cannot...
