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

    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...

    In short the output beam relative to the stage could be preserved when using the focus flip tool to invert the current tilt. This would be useful when ensuring that a positive tilt is used in successive cues to avoid extreme focus movements. Parameter...

    A setting to skip empty fader pages would be great. The ability to specify which fader pages show up on a wing would be even better.

  • Change opacity of text on direct select buttons so just icons can be visible

    This would be a setting for apex devices where you select what you want on your smart direct select buttons. I find it annoying that I have to remove the text or have text overlaying the images when I could just set the text opacity to be 0 percent so...

    Hi! The DDC/CI monitor controls on consoles work great but I would love to see this be an option in Nomad as well. I understand why this isn't enabled by default but I would love to see an option to turn on these controls in Nomad.

    I can use a macro along the lines of Select Last Shutters Frame Thrust A and then enter a specific value, but I can't use Select Last Shutters Frame Thrust A @ +01 which, if supported, would allow one to make a magic sheet or set of direct selects for...

    An additional delete cue parameter that will delete both the cue and it's associated show control event(s). This could take the form of a CIA command modifier/softkey [Delete] [Cue] 10 {with events} and/or a setup defined default. In my workflow...

    An option for a user to have a descrete notes field. So, that the LD or Programmer could have the option to track different notes if they wanted. Could be a checkbox in user settings: "This user shows Master Notes or User Notes"

    Just like the ETC Gateways, it would be nice, if you could use the consoles DMX outputs as Inputs as well and also map the DMX channels to sACN output channels, just like you can in Net3 Concert.
