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

  • Pixelmap ability for any attribute

    • 1 Comment
    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...
  • Export Icons Folder

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • Better resolution on magic sheet screenshots

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    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.
  • Highest & Lowest as Query option

    • 0 Comments
    Hello, I wonder if there could be a query option fo find the highest or lowest value for parameters of channels in a selection (or at least for the intensity values) I ran into this question thinking about a solution for my "followme-macro" probelm...
  • Add gel picker attributes to command syntax

    • 0 Comments
    When calling “Channel X Color 3/201” it woild be cool to be able to add “Spectral”, “Hybrid” or “Brightest” to the command. Sometimes you don’t have the gel picker open and want to quickly call a gel, and this would allow me to specify what type of mix...
  • iRFR Encoders Should Work in Blind

    • 0 Comments
    In Blind, iRFR Encoders should display their blind values, not live values.
  • 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...
  • Curves for everything

    • 2 Comments
    Curves should be widely applicable. Absolute Effect Steps, Submasters, Cues (not just parts), Sneak Time.
  • 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...
  • I wish there was more "loading" user feedback while an A3d model loads until it is complete.

    • 0 Comments
    See the videos at the link below In 2 cases opening one file from previously sitting in a different one, and the 3rd case opening from a fresh install. In all instances, the A3D model takes some time to fully load but there isn’t any feedback to let you...
