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

  • 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...

    Macros are one of the cornerstones when working with eos and with increasing demands for automation on Shows the current workflow starts to lag behind when it comes to editing, copy/pasting, Incrementing values across a range of macros. Implementing...
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • Drag tabs to new frames

    • 2 Comments
    Re-arranging the tabs into new frames/window is a pain. A simple click/tap and drag to the new frame would make re-arranging your content very fast. Want your Augment3d with all your current settings in the other window, just drag that tab to the frame...
  • Option for "patched" to filter fixture type when changing fixture modes

    • 0 Comments
    When selecting a fixture profile, there are currently options to filter by "Show", "Manufacturer", and "Search". It would be great if there was another tile called "Patched" to filter the "Show' list of tile to fixtures that are patched in the showfile...

  • Enable Grandmaster functionality to the large faders on the Ion XE

    • 0 Comments
    I almost never use multiple cue lists in my small theater and I'd wager I'm not the only one. Being able to map the large faders as GMs rather than sacrificing on of my on board faders would be great,
  • Costumization-options for fader displays

    • 0 Comments
    The fader displays on an APEX or the motorized faderwings take up a lot of space. Still I find that the information they give is not all that helpful. Most labels are to long to be displayed properly, especially the labels of list-items are unreadable...
