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

    Direct Macro Import Request : Suggesting an 8th softkey in Macro Contents context for direct import of macro contents into Eos. This feature would allow saving, storing, and importing macros outside the Eos file structure. Current Process...
  • 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!

  • Direct Selects in a magic sheet

    • 0 Comments
    Adding direct selects into a magic sheet would be great, allowing me to have single columns of DS without having to setup windows. This then would allow the conservation of that precious screen real estate.
  • Color Block Option

    • 0 Comments
    Could we add a way to do a color block for a cue? Like an intensity block so that ML data can track past but color won't

  • Add gel picker attributes to command syntax

    • 0 Comments
    When calling “Channel X Color 3/201” it woild be cool to be able to add “Spectral”, “Hybrid” or “Brightest” to the command. Sometimes you don’t have the gel picker open and want to quickly call a gel, and this would allow me to specify what type of mix...
  • Option to Stop Intens Effects During Highlight

    • 3 Comments
    When I highlight a fixture, it's very annoying if it and/or other fixtures keep flashing. You can use the highlight and lowlight presets to squash strobe, but not effects. And because highlight rem dim only affects intens, you can't even stop strobes...
  • Allow Sub @ +/- Level

    • 1 Comment
    I can use `Channel @ +/- Level Enter` to modify a channel up say 20 points from wherever it currently is, I think submasters should be able to use the same syntax. As part of my break macro I want to automatically glow the house lights, but the best...
