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

  • Support for Localhost / 127.0.0.1

    • 3 Comments
    This has been mentioned in many forum threads before, but surprisingly not been added as a feature. Running EOS 3.1.2 (Nomad on a Windows PC) and a lot of OSC, coming from software on the same computer. The lack of support of "Localhost" means permanently...
  • Invert Cell Order on MC Fixtures from patch

    • 0 Comments
    Hi there, It would be nice to be able to invert the order of cells from patch for when a fixture may be hung backward and you are unable to either flip the cells on the fixture or physically access it. Mostly asking for linear fixtures, but some grid...
  • 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...
  • Vertically split Direct Select Banks

    • 0 Comments
    I'd like the ability to split DS Banks vertically. I can only split Banks horizontally and the result is kind of random based upon the number of Rows. 15 Columns of 3 Rows is wider than 15 Columns of 1 Row. If I use the 3 Vertical spaces layout format...

  • A3D - Input conventional focus position in patch and view it.

    • 0 Comments
    Similar to how with moving lights we see an XYZ of where the lamp is focused at any time, it would be useful to input the focus position of conventionals with coordinates in patch rather than having to click and drag. It would also be great to see the...
  • 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...
  • 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...
