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

  • Position assignment in patch

    • 0 Comments
    I've only just really started playing with Augment3d properly but the thing I've discovered to be taking the most time is getting my conventional fixtures into roughly the right positions (more so for front of house positions). Unlike with moving lights...
  • [Copy To] {Invert focus}

    • 2 Comments
    I find myself often making focus fans on groups of fixtures that are mirrored symmetrically. It would be useful if there was a softkey extension to invert the focus when copying values while creating focus pallets. I would propose it as 2 keys: {Invert...

  • Effect controls in ML controls

    • 0 Comments
    We have rate and size on the physical encoders, but what about boards that don't have physical encoders? Would be nice to also have rate and size in ML controls so that they could be adjusted more easily.
  • Rename Effect "Trail" to "Distance"

    • 0 Comments
    Without reading the manual (and even when you do) the word "Trail" in the context of Eos effects is very easy to misunderstand. Almost everybody seems to understand this word as the trailing (comet effect) of an effect. "Trail" does however control how...
  • Timecode Mute

    • 0 Comments
    When going through a cue range and adding follows to make it callable for a human in the event of a timecode failure, it would be great to be able to keep the timecode on a cue but have it 'muted'. This would also be useful for when a cut is made and...
  • New Magic Sheet Object Attribute: "Lock to Target"

    • 0 Comments
    Frequently on my magic sheets I will map a button to an EOS Target. Could be a channel, preset, group, or anything. I'll then need to move the target. It would be nice if I could do that without also having to re-target all the magic sheet object that...
  • Feature Request: Shutter Pair States in Encoder Snapshots

    • 2 Comments
    Hey team, It would be amazing if encoder snapshots included the state of the shutter pair buttons. Having a macro that is able to control those buttons quickly without having to access the encoder display would be valuable, especially when not on a...

    Hello, In the next sprint when you are able to devote some time to adding in OSC arguments for the following data, Alert Timing remaining of current cue Learn alert time start Stop learning alert time Timecode status Thank you, Aidan
  • augmented hierarchy should remember my organisation

    • 0 Comments
    i like to organise my hierarchy regarding fixtures positions, from stage right to stage left.For example, in P1 i organise ch151 ch141 ch142 ch143 ch152. But i notice every time i open it again, channels randomly switch places. I don't want neither them...
