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

  • Record Effects into Palettes, like Presets do

    • 1 Comment
    That's what it is. If you're running an Intensity Effect over the fixtures that should be recorded into the Intensity Palette. I want all the data that's contributing to this live look when I record the Palette. This would make it easier to busk since...
  • Support for Localhost / 127.0.0.1

    • 3 Comments
    This has been mentioned in many forum threads before, but surprisingly not been added as a feature. Running EOS 3.1.2 (Nomad on a Windows PC) and a lot of OSC, coming from software on the same computer. The lack of support of "Localhost" means permanently...
  • Dual bump buttons on sub masters

    • 0 Comments
    I've been using EOS now for 4 years busking lights for live bands and DJ's and have love using the console but I would love to be able to have dual bump buttons on fader strip allowing you to have either 2 flash buttons but one with a fade time or one...
  • Display labels, or colors, or Icons. on custom direct selects "Jump To" commands

    • 1 Comment
    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...
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • Custom Direct Select > Button Labels and Icons

    • 0 Comments
    The button item for custom Direct Select currently allows you to add a console button or a jump button for example. It would be great if we had the option of giving them custom labels or an icon. It can be hard to remember what is at 1/583 for example...
  • Relative Intensity Values/Palettes

    • 0 Comments
    This would come in handy if you want to raise or lower certain channels relative to their current value with a submaster. E.g.: I have a drum-solo sub, that raises the drummer's frontlight to full, while bringing all other musicians down by 50 percent...
