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

  • HOME HOME to send fixture to home setting

    • 0 Comments
    I was changing profiles on a dozen movers the other day and found myself double tapping the HOME button when done as if I was putting a light to full. Thought this might be a good feature as I have never entered anything else when sending a fixture to...
  • ADD an LED Tape solution to Augmented 3D

    Would be such a fantastic tool to be able to Visualize LED tape in Augmented 3D. Hard to come across a theatrical design without it these days!
  • Move Submasters with Midi up AND DOWN

    • 0 Comments
    Hi! I would like to use submasters controlled by Midi. They should work "fader"-style. With the velocity of the note going to full the submaster should go to full (this works already), with the velocity going to zero the submaster should please move...
  • Improved Design for Multi-Cell Lighting Fixtures within Magic Sheets

    • 1 Comment
    Magic Sheets are great but one aspect I have always struggled with is how to represent a multi-cell fixture that still enables direct control of the parameters I want to see when designing/controlling such fixtures. The problem: If you have a lineal...
  • Direct Select Order Toggle

    • 0 Comments
    Would love to have a toggle or option to change the order of direct selects to run top to bottom, left to right so numbers go sequentially down, then over to the next column vs the current method of left to right across then down to the next row.

  • Sensible names for console outputs

    • 0 Comments
    Could you allow labeling outputs with a sensible same? At the moment outputs like Gadgets or Gateways are labelled with their serial number. This makes it hard to tell them apart. It makes even more sense when using the Apex Garage, but adding a Gadget...
  • Handling 16bit sACN input in ShowControl as 16bit values when routed to a 16bit channel

    • 1 Comment
    Dear ETC-People, I like the possibility to have an incoming universe routed to another one using the options I have in the ShowControl Tab. I also like the idea that I could actually capture incoming data on EOS. I could even grab data to create cues...
  • Add Notes to pallares and presets like you can add notes to cues

    • 0 Comments
    On location film sets I often have to match a color on the fly to a practical fixture. I’d love a place to put some notes about why I recorded this particular color that gives more details than I can fit on a label (especially if the label ends up on...
