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

    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...

    There should be a syntax to assign events to a different cue list. For example if event list 1 is built triggering cues in cue list 1/, you should be able to select all the events in event list 1 and type cue 2/ enter to reassign to cue list 2.

    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...

    As we have gone into panto season this year (as well all have been!) I’ve found the usefulness of augment as a programming aid. One thing that would have made this slightly easier would have been the ability to add the LED tape and light boxes to my Denice...

    Currently if you apply an effect to a channel selection in a new Cue, the fade time will populate in the PSD. i.e If I apply Intensity Effect 915 to some channels and record it as Cue 5, my default time of 3 will populate in the Int Up/Down column of...

  • Virtual XY, virtual hue/sat for XY profiles

    The new integration of XY input for any fixture using the color picker is fantastic! But its use is a little hamstrung without virtual parameters backing it up so we can: - access X/Y in the ML controls and see it in the channel display for any fixture...

    XY is quickly becoming prevalent in the film world. It's not as complicated as many forum posts seem to make it: just meter the light, use our built in XY to adjust to the XY you are trying to match, record CP. The issue is being quick and precise with...

    With making the icons bigger pushing it to centre doesn't increase the scale size of the icon it would still remain at its maximum size. Would there be a scope to add a scaling option to make the entire button the icon? Much like when you boot an apex...

    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...

  • Marking for Focus/Beam/Form-effects

    Could we get marking for said effects if they are set to fade via rate? It would move the fixtures to a starting-position, similar to starting a focus-effect with a rate of zero, but respecting mark timing. Maybe this could be done via a Softkey or...
