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

    Hej Folks, I´d love to be able to switch the "Home-Breaks-Reference" on and off as to me it´s sometimes handy and sometimes it makes my life even harder.

    There are similar requests to this elsewhere, but ultimately many ways etc could implement it. Basically, in a multi-user venue I want an easy way to ensure our default patch (and perhaps some Macros, and maybe even magic sheets, or DS for some users...

    Are there any plans to use GDTF/MVR in Eos 3.0/Augment3D? I know Vectorworks support is coming but seeing as Augment3D is not a full replacement for things like Vison and Capture it would be nice to use one "standard" to go between Pre-Viz and Show.

    Wanted to follow up on a few bug/feature requests I've made on this forum over the years that ETC has yet to respond to: 1.) When working with multiple cue lists, going backward in a cue list releases channels to home values instead of to background...

    This proposal is to add a macro wait function that does not continue until the prior command has finished execution -- for example, a prior command that sneaks out data, will automatically pause macro execution until the sneak command is completed; or...

    Hi, When tilting conventionals I noticed that the tilt axis is behind the cap. Basically at the C-clamp instead of being at the point where the yoke meets the body. Could this be a future fix? Thanks!!

    Hello, love the new face panel controls in 3.1! But, when extiguishing the desklights and monitors, the displays key blinks. I have recently been using it a lot in a very dark/dim show. I always had to place my palm over the displays key because it was...

  • Better resolution on magic sheet screenshots

    I like to use screenshots of the magic sheets as a plot for the gaffer. The only problem is that the resolution is kind of low and it looks a little fuzzy, especially on some of the numbers. It would be nice to get higher resolution images.

    With the new "Create pixelmaps from..." tools in 3.0, it would be awesome if you could quickly create a pixelmap of a moving light rig, and then select what attribute you would like the pixel map to manipulate when playing a video. For instance using...

    Importing Icons has been a great feature, but once imported there is no way to export them. I think we should be able to export our Icons folder and a folder of Icons used in the showfile, similar to exporting Show Pixel Map Media, for easier backup...
