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

  • Alphabetical Ordering on open and merge windows selection tiles

    • 0 Comments
    At present the selection tiles of what to open/merge into shows is in a seemingly random order. Please could these be in alphabetical order reading left to right, top to bottom? At present we're having to do quite a bit of hunting to find the right key...
  • Add "Color Temperature" as an option for a "field" in a magic sheet object

    • 1 Comment
    As you can probably guess by the request to add Color Temperature features, I work in the film and TV world. 90% of the time I'm using Color Temperature to control the color of our units rather than RGBAWetc. It would be awesome if I could select...
  • Staging Mode in Live

    • 0 Comments
    It would be really helpful if staging mode also outputted(turn on actual lights) into live, so you can do an A/B comparison on the actual stage rather than just in Augment3d. This could be a toggle button in the Manual Control settings to "display in...
  • Rework +%/-% so you can double-press with manual fade.

    • 0 Comments
    I used to use +%/-% quite a bit, but often would double-press to get to the value I wanted. Unfortunately the way it currently operates, the second +% press will add to the value of the fixture mid-fade. For example, Ch 1 starts at 50%, with +% set to...

    I know an update to the pixelmap and VMS engine are on the horizon, but here's a list of necessary updates I've encountered to bring it up to date with other consoles and services: Pixel Drawing - Ability to make circles and designs similar to what...
  • Sneak & Delay in live

    • 0 Comments
    Can the ability to sneak or delay a range of times across multiple channels in live please be added? For busking, the ability to "roll out" a focus palette, beam palette, color palette or preset over a fanned timing would be beneficial. For example: ...
  • 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.
