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

  • Select Manual "User" Modifier

    • 0 Comments
    Hi all, Suggesting the addition of user filtering to the [Select Manual] keyword. It would be useful in some environments to have the ability to select manual values generated by specific users. I could see this as the addition of {User} to the soft...
  • [Copy To] {Plus Show} Should Optionally Exclude By-Type Palettes

    • 0 Comments
    Hi! Currently (in Eos 3.2.5) in patch, using [Copy To] with the {Plus Show} modifier copies all data from the source - including referenced data that was not discrete, making a data discrete in palettes that are otherwise exclusively by-type. I believe...
  • Magic Sheet, increase field items

    • 0 Comments
    It would helpful if you increase the number of field items. 6 items are less for using parameters and categories. May the field items could dynamically.
  • Moving targets in target lists should move custom direct select targets.

    • 1 Comment
    Howdy: During prep, I build a lot of custom direct selects; sometimes when we get into the theater, I want to move these around. It'd be awesome to be able to move the direct select tiles when i move the targets somewhere else. Either it could happen...
  • Flexi options for A3D Channels Only

    • Planned for Future on

    In the same way there is the flexi option to see only partition channels, can there also be an option to see only Channels that are in A3D?
  • Use Console DMX outs as DMX ins

    • 0 Comments
    Just like the ETC Gateways, it would be nice, if you could use the consoles DMX outputs as Inputs as well and also map the DMX channels to sACN output channels, just like you can in Net3 Concert.
  • Post Go To Cue in the command history.

    • 1 Comment
    That's all. Would love for command history to show go to cue commands.
  • 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.
  • Always display DMX Grid in Patch>Patch

    • 0 Comments
    I often want to look at DMX usage per universe before making a choice about patch actions. Since the space is otherwise just a blank screen, it would be nice if the DMX grid is always be displayed and navigable in Patch>Patch even when no channel is selected...
  • Flip focus could update shutters and gobo/animation index when swapping from a positive to negative tilt or vice versa

    • 0 Comments
    In short the output beam relative to the stage could be preserved when using the focus flip tool to invert the current tilt. This would be useful when ensuring that a positive tilt is used in successive cues to avoid extreme focus movements. Parameter...
