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

  • OSC "Connections"

    • 1 Comment
    I would love to see the ability to separate OSC and Strings settings into “connections” that can be turned on/off individually as well as globally. Currently, enabling/disabling OSC and Strings is an all-or-nothing toggle. There are many times where I...
  • Shift Query - repeat last query

    Could Shift Query work to repost the last query you created into the command line?
  • OSC Filter and general rework of OSC settings

    • 2 Comments
    There should the possibility to set a an OSC Filter per connection. In the moment client were flooded with data. The /oes/filter/ command is also not in the manual. OSC connections should managed in a list (like in GrandMA3) where I can set IP, connection...
  • Browser Favorite/Recent Locations

    I frequently save and open show files from a cloud storage location on my computer. To get to this location in Eos I have to click through: File>Open>Macintosh HD>Users>Z>Library>CloudStorage>Dropbox>Z>Shows>...... It'd be great if there were a faster...
  • 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,
  • 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...

  • Flexi to Cue List

    • 4 Comments
    Duplicate of here . I'd love to open a separate live table and flexi it to only channels active from cue list 2 as opposed to cue list 1 or any other cue list. I couldn't find a way, and don't think it's possible, but maybe someone knows a trick....
  • Map keys on Program Wing

    • 2 Comments
    Can I map keys on my program wing? I would like to map the keys next to the master pair ([Release], [Spread], [Off], [Assert], etc.), which I never use, to be the macro keys 801 - 812. If not, I would like to move this to be a feature request, please...
  • Fixture Spectrum Curve

    • 0 Comments
    Allow users to input the photometric data (X/Y, wavelength, width) for each diode on an LED light. This would allow for spectrum control with spectrum tools but also would create a gammut the light could operate within on the color picker. The end goal...
