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

  • Stage Managers/Cast Members Reduced Access App

    • 0 Comments
    Not sure if this is the right place or if it would be better in the 3.0 Beta, anyway. After watching some of the videos on Augment3d, and specifically iRFR, it would be amazing to have an app with the Augment3d integration without control of anything...
  • Handling 16bit sACN input in ShowControl as 16bit values when routed to a 16bit channel

    • 1 Comment
    Dear ETC-People, I like the possibility to have an incoming universe routed to another one using the options I have in the ShowControl Tab. I also like the idea that I could actually capture incoming data on EOS. I could even grab data to create cues...
  • Curves for everything

    • 2 Comments
    Curves should be widely applicable. Absolute Effect Steps, Submasters, Cues (not just parts), Sneak Time.
  • 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...
  • OSC-Output Submaster-Level

    • 0 Comments
    I would like to get Submaster-Levels via OSC so that I can control Submasters from different Controllers.
  • Scenic Element that is scalable

    • 3 Comments
    Hey there, I would like to be able to scale objects with scenic elements. There is a curtain assigned to a scenic element. Would be great to fade between "closed" (normal) and "opened" (scaled in Y to be thin). I hope this explaination is understandable...
  • Partitions Display Page with column height adjustments

    • 1 Comment
    Hi, Using partitions can get frustrating when your channel count is quite large and out of number order. (I'm using channel numbers into 5 digits.) I would like a page dedicated to Partitions a la the Groups Display page and I'd like to be able to...
  • Add Meters/Feet Unit in X Y Z focus and "Meters/Feet per rev" option in manual control for encoders

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, i tried to change units of X per rev for encoders in user setup. Only way to achieve this is to edit X focus in Fixture editor and apply a "D" unit to X Focus. It would be better to have meters or feet by default for X Y Z parameters and resulting...
  • Record To Show Cuelist Before Pressing Enter

    • 2 Comments
    Currently if working on a cuelist >1, going: RECORD CUE 1 ENTER will change the command line to RECORD CUE 2/1 ENTER (or whatever cuelist) but only AFTER you press enter. It'd be great to have a visual confirmation of the cuelist to be recorded...
  • Ability to record the values/position of faders into a cue.

    • 0 Comments
    Hi Currently working on an Eos based working light system with a magic sheet interface. I propose being able to record the fader position into a cue as well as the values of the units involved. This would allow some of the working light "states" to...
