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

  • Add "min" to macro softkeys

    • 0 Comments
    The Min enconder value button is not available in the macro editor softkeys. It would be nice to have that added so we didn't have to learn it via live then build a macro around it.
  • Option to enable DDC/CI monitor controls in Nomad

    • 0 Comments
    Hi! The DDC/CI monitor controls on consoles work great but I would love to see this be an option in Nomad as well. I understand why this isn't enabled by default but I would love to see an option to turn on these controls in Nomad.
  • Tab Navigation for Macro Editing

    • 2 Comments
    In order to change tabs in a macro there needs to be a TAB_DOWN [#] TAB_UP but that can only be done when recording. It would be really great if it could be added after the fact, if forgotten. What brought this up for me was trying to make a patch macro...
  • Label Presets/Suggestions

    • 1 Comment
    I would love the ability to choose from presets when labeling things. For example. when labeling a cue, if it could have preset buttons on screen to choose from, such as "Blackout" or "B/O", "Button", "Restore", "Move DS"... so on. It would be nice to...
  • Two colors for Magic Sheet Objects

    • 1 Comment
    I choose the Square for a Channel. Give this square the color green for 100% at this Channel. But i can´t give color red for off for this channel. For On-Off-Switches it can help see the status better.
  • Submaster UP/DOWN Time Manual Time

    • 1 Comment
    It would be great to be able to set the up and down fade times on Submasters to listen to the Manual Time Master when active, and when not active to default to whatever time has been set for them. Thanks!
  • Can we get Password access controls to the console?

    • 1 Comment
    I see very old discussions about a password/PIN option to protect show files or console access, and a recent discussion about whether this should be a feature request, however I don't see it here in the feature requests. Recognizing that some folks think...
  • Effect Attribute that runs each step across the selection before moving to the next step

    • 0 Comments
    Break mode *purports* to do something like this, but in practice it does not work well for absolute effects with more than one step. I'd like an effect attribute that will sweep a step across the entire selection, and then not move to the next step...
  • Red Text for Notes

    Having the ability to have a red font available for the notes to highlight would be great. Cheers P.
  • Keep Reference Data when using [Palette] + [Palette]

    • 4 Comments
    Currently when I do [1] [Thru] [10] [1] [Color Palette] [101] [+] [130] it fans the colors across the channels making a gradient, and it makes the color data for all the channels absolute. I think Channel 1 should keep its reference of Color Palette...
