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

  • Assign different macros to button press and release

    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...

  • Filter Scene Direct Selects

    • 1 Comment
    I'd like to be able to configure a scene direct select to only display scenes in one cue list. Custom direct selects can be used to get here, of course, but it's a clunky solution for any situation outside of a locked in show.
  • Link CIE X, Y fixture parameter values to Color Picker tab values

    • 0 Comments
    CIE 1931 is becoming a much more common way of communicating color on film sets. You're starting to see a lot of gaffers walking around with a color meter on their hip, and these days most new LED fixtures have a DMX profile with X,Y color mode. Eos...

  • Change order of Direct Select Banks and Magic Sheet Button Fields

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    I'd like to reorder the banks I have in a Direct Select instead of replacing and recreating them. Changing the order is easy; recreating in a new bank is more cumbersome. Many programs have a way to change the ordering by moving up or down one position...

    Hello, I propose a visual, live editable on screen fan tool for making intensity and color fans / gradients to work along side the THRU syntax. I am inspired by graphics design programs for this idea, and my desire to work with linear strip lights...
