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

  • sACN input not only to submasters but also to faders

    • 0 Comments
    Hey there, I'd like to map sACN to Faders. In our youth theatre ensemble we have got an old Element. It can't upgrade to EOS 3. But I'd like to use my nomad with Augment3d and all these new EOS 3.x features. Element has 40 faders I'd like to use. I...

  • Gadget 2 DMX Input

    • 1 Comment
    I'm missing to use the second port of the Gadget as an DMX Input. This will give use the possibility to use small and cheap DMX fader wings for use as submasters.
  • Feature request: Separate Pop-Up Magic Sheets for separate workspaces.

    • 2 Comments
    Often when working with multiple monitors, we dedicate some workspaces to specific tasks. It would be useful if we could specify a different magic sheet for each workspace that we could customize to utilize that particular workspace most efficiently.
  • External link editing - more flexible editing requested.

    • 0 Comments
    When a cue has multiple external links attached to it, it is not possible to remove a single link, it is necessary to delete the entire list and re-enter the required links. This is a request to add a feature to allow the removal of individual links,...
  • Password/4-digit pin protection to lockout console

    • 1 Comment
    I know this is something along the roadmap somewhere, but I haven't seen it listed in the new feature requests feed and figured it should be moved here as well. We'd love to see password or 4-digit pin-style protection ability for eos consoles. Regarding...
  • Inhibitive Subs Should Follow Priority

    • 0 Comments
    A lower priority inhibitive sub should not be able to reduce the level of a channel controlled by a higher priority cue/sub. Ex: Cue list 1/ is prio 4, sub 1 is an inhibitive with prio 3. Sub 3 should not be able to change values in cue list 1/
  • Patch: Copy show data not breaking By-Types

    • 0 Comments
    Copy in patch to not break by-types. When you copy show data it makes discrete data in all the by-type pallets, if the chan is following a leader it shouldn't take any data for that pallet across with it.
  • Custom ML Control Profiles

    • 0 Comments
    Hi! Now that modern moving lights and other LEDS have tons of attributes and us designers don't actually use most of them, I was thinking it might be cool to add some level of customization profiles to the ML controls. And these profiles could be different...
  • 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...
