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 1 and tab 2 are very frustrating for single screen, nomad setups. They get in the way, pull focus when hitting the live, and rise to the top as well, so sometimes if I am in workspace 2 In a blind tab, and I hit live, I will be transferred to workspace...

    Hej Folks, What about a renumbering system like the other guys have to do get cues in a numeric order just in one step? So far I'm good with copy and move but it would be convenient sometimes. The other guys do that with popups but I think syntax...

    Hey all! I was wondering if there is currently a way or if there will ever be a way to create a custom fixture that isn't one you would buy from a company. I'm thinking like a marquee that has individual light bulbs, is there a way I can model that...

    Keep the ability to use "undo" after saving, i.e. setting channel 1 to full, then saving, then pressing [undo] should undo channel 1 @ full. Keep the command history available after saving.

    Eos's colour picker has supported x/y visualization for some time, but unfortunately the colour picker doesn't seem to properly control fixtures with CIE x/y parameters patched. x/y control is becoming more common and more useful in many applications...

    Global Palettes would still be a great tool to have! But even without having those I was wondering if it´d be possible to tweak the behaviour of the by type palettes a bit. Talking about multi-part-fixtures. When I have the same scroller attached to a...

    It would be really good to be able to modify an effect in live (For example the rate or size) and then easily save that as a new effect directly. For example, if I make a ramp effect, use it in some cues then in another scene, use the effect slowed...

    The recent introduction of 3.1.1. changed the Virtual Keyboard layout (Tab 7 + PopOut) to reflect the Apex layout. Given the limited number of Apex consoles in use globally at this time, it would be helpful for the majority of users to be able to select...
