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

  • effects entry and exit time controlled by manual time fader

    • 0 Comments
    I want to be able to use the manual time fader to have control over the entry and exit time of effects. I tried several ways to do it. I recorded an effect in a preset, i put it into a direct select or simply recalled it by typing, but there was no...
  • Emergency marks that happen in a cue part with an existing Mark flag should show as "M+"

    • 0 Comments
    It's very easy to miss broken marks when their emergency marking happens in a cue that already has a mark flag on it. It would be great if emergency marks could always be attention grabbing in the cue list, instead of only when there isn't already a mark...
  • 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...
  • Fader Configuration Defaults

    • 3 Comments
    Creating a softkey that loads a default fader configuration for the selected fader, submaster, cuelist, or Global FX. (buttons/faders, width and other properties like sub/culist timing. This default should be configurable on a User basis. I find it cumbersome...
  • Ability to see Presets in A3d just like Palettes

    • 0 Comments
    I recently discovered if you look at Focus, Beams, Col pals in blind, in an A3d display, you can see a visual representation of the palette. It appears to turn the virtual intesntiy to full temporarily just inside a3d so you can see those attributes....
  • Live Moves Flags - (ignore colour live moves)

    • 0 Comments
    I feel as if Live Colour Moves are rather ubiquitous at this point in time while live Focus & Beam moves are sometimes an obvious red flag in your show file. There should be a way to "ignore" live colour moves and/or highlight Focus & Beam moves. I...
  • Lock live & PSD windows to live output when switching to blind

    • 0 Comments
    I would love to have the option to lock a live summary or table view and a psd to live so that when I switch into blind these stay following the current live cue and channels active in current cue. Sometimes I would like these two displays on one...
  • Discrete timing: Fan percentages

    • 0 Comments
    Its great we can have percentages on time and delay but being able to fan say, [Group] [1] [Delay] [/] [100] [Thru] [0] [Enter]. At the moment obviously you can fan absolute delay and time but we cant on percentage. This'll make discrete timing revolutionary...
  • Patch-Fixture editor

    Hi all, Would it be possible to nest the numbered parameters(Red, Red 1, Red 2, Red 3, Red...) under the parent parameter in the fixture editor and then allow the choice to be made to either select the parent or open up the category to choose one of the...
  • Multiple MIDI Tx Source ID configurations

    • 0 Comments
    It's becoming common to need to send MIDI triggers to multiple departments, each with their own cue list and needs. It would be nice to be able to configure multiple MIDI Tx Source IDs with their own MIDI settings (notably MIDI Cue List), so that gateways...
