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

  • Color Palettes - Manually Override Color Swatch

    • 6 Comments
    I'd love the ability to override the color swatch that displays in direct selects for color palettes. Either choosing a leader channel, or the ability to choose your own RGB value. I have some palettes that choose color wheel chips on movers and those...
  • Live tab should show Home preset instead of absolute value

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, I would be nice to see name of the home preset in live tab instead of his absolute values. We could easily understand if home values come from Home preset or fixtures ' library. Keep data behaviour to see absolute values of this preset.
  • 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...
  • Tags (for everything, but at least for palettes)

    This would be a great organizational tool. Allowing to quickly filter lists. Would also work great in combination with the search function. It would also open new possibilities when creating macros.

  • Custom Direct Select > Command

    • 1 Comment
    In addition to the Button item, it would be really helpful if we had a command item like in Magic sheets, with the same label and Icon options in my other feature request. This would let us change another Custom Direct Select without having to make snapshots...
  • Ability to see Presets in A3d just like Palettes

    • 0 Comments
    I recently discovered if you look at Focus, Beams, Col pals in blind, in an A3d display, you can see a visual representation of the palette. It appears to turn the virtual intesntiy to full temporarily just inside a3d so you can see those attributes....
  • Lock live & PSD windows to live output when switching to blind

    • 0 Comments
    I would love to have the option to lock a live summary or table view and a psd to live so that when I switch into blind these stay following the current live cue and channels active in current cue. Sometimes I would like these two displays on one...
