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

  • Patch Offset

    • 3 Comments
    It would be nice to be able to define an offset in patch for various paramaters. Specificaly for pan tilt this would be super helpful. Imagine a fixture was hung 90° the wrong way, in patch you could set a pan offset of -90. Then pan 0 is where you expect...
  • 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.
  • 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,

  • Patch - Multicell Fixture: Provide the same functionality that was included in v2.8 and v2.9 with regards to patching multi-cell channels using non multi-cell fixture types

    • Coming Soon on
    • 1 Comment
    This reduced functionality is not listed on the known bug list or mentioned on the current or previous build documents, so this appears to be working as intended. Example: {Patch} Channel 100 {Type} [Fixture Type A] (not a multicell fixture type...
  • Blackout Key Modes

    • Planned for Future on
    • 2 Comments
    Whether you have a dedicated grandmaster or you have one assigned to a sub it would be nice to have a behavior that allows the blackout key to be in a "flash" or "manual" state where you only blackout while the key is held down instead of being a toggle...

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, if we have 10 focus palettes 1 thru 10 and focus palettes for FPE 901 thru 904, record focus palette next should suggest 11 instead if 905... I tried shift + next but not working
  • Warm White light source in Augment3d

    • 0 Comments
    I have a JB Lighting P10 Profile with a warm white LED source. I would like the light source show the correct color in Augment3d. This fixture also has a variable CTB filter. I would also like this to work the same way as CMY mixing does.
  • Custom Text Columns in Cue Lists

    • 0 Comments
    I'm using the "notes" field as a second label to call out things like Video Triggers, etc. It would be cool to have the ability to have custom text columns that could be used however. Something like: Cue Label Video MSC Sound MSC 1...
