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

  • Multi Touch in magic sheets for selection and operation of soft faders and [shift] key

    • 0 Comments
    Would it be possible to enable multi touch on magic sheets beyond simple navigational tools? It would be great to be able to control multiple soft faders simultaneously or have a functioning [shift] key on screen for the rapid creation of ombre colour...
  • 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...

  • Psn integration in EOS

  • Flexi Moves

    Similar to Flexi Active but removes tracked channels. I use a macro right now to achieve this in “view channels” but a dedicated view would be great.
  • Color flag on macro direct selects

    • 0 Comments
    The color flags for macros (red, green, dark) show a flag on the DS button, but white shows nothing. White should also be a flag.
  • Be able to print Magic Sheets with the background removed in the EOS Show File Printout

    • 1 Comment
    It would be really helpful as a designer to print my magic sheet out on paper and use that to set lights or in lighting documentation. I use the printout to hang, focus, and address fixtures and easily have something to tell me where in space a light...
  • Store Channel and Parameter Times in Submasters

    • 2 Comments
    Submasters should be able to contain timing information, that is played back realtive to the submasters intensity. Exypanding this idea, palettes and presets could hold timing information as well.
  • Submaster Usage Query in About

    • 0 Comments
    Can we add the ability to use the About menu to view the usage of a submaster/view which cues execute the submaster, just as you can with channels, presets or effects?
