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

  • "Music rule" guidelines on cue (PSD) list displays

    • 0 Comments
    This is a simple one, but on a cue list display, it would be useful I think to alternate rows with a light and dark colour (not a contrasty black and white, just light and medium grey, say) so that the eye can easily follow across the screen. A good example...
  • 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...
  • Assign different macros to button press and release

    • 0 Comments
    I have come to this requirement when I tried to mimic bump button behavior for multiple actions. My idea was to set multiple faders/subs on key press and go back on release.
  • Various Scene Colors

    Would love to see more customization when it comes to scenes in an EOS Q-stack. Running a musical right now, and the designer is requesting scene breaks for both top of scene and beginnings of songs. Would be nice to have various colors to make the...

  • PSD/“Stage Management”/Cue List Mirror Mode

    An extension of Mirror Mode— a simple PSD showing cue numbers— cue timings— and cue labels— etc. for stage managers and/or other production team members that want to reference the lighting cues without needing full access/control of the console. (Available...
  • Allow [-] [select last]

    • 0 Comments
    Like the subject says, [-] [select last] would be incredibly useful. Other operators combined with select last would also be great.

  • Better Snapshots

    • 0 Comments
    I find that the current Snapshot are great but can be really tricky to get working exactly how you would like. There's a few things I have identified that would make Snapshots better and easier all around: - The ability to edit Snapshots - The ability...
  • Apply curves to absolute effects and/or apply palettes to linear effects

    • 0 Comments
    Hey guys, This is a request for a specific situation. Very often a gaffer will ask me to set an A and a B focus palette with movers to then move between in an effect. That’s easy enough with an absolute effect using focus palettes. However, the one...
