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...
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • Support for RTSP, RTP and RTMP streaming protocols in place of NDI.

    • 0 Comments
    Now that the roll out of NDI has been halted. Support for more generic streaming protocols like RTSP, RTP, RTCP and RTMP would allow us the same general usability. These protocols are already used in almost all security cameras, allowing EOS users more...
  • Alert times triggered by external Q triggers

    • 1 Comment
    Hello, This is a request from a trainee. They are running a show where cues are triggered by a mixture of manual Go presses, and OSC triggers from automation, and are finding it irritating that their alert times are only running if the cue is triggered...
  • Link Back to Cue

    • 0 Comments
    Just like link-to, there needs to be a link back. For example I can use link to so we can skip over a block of cues that we're going to skip this performance, but if I need to jump backwards over that skipped section I need to manually go back to cue...
  • Changes in the ESD should be reflected in the PSD

    • 0 Comments
    Currently if you apply an effect to a channel selection in a new Cue, the fade time will populate in the PSD. i.e If I apply Intensity Effect 915 to some channels and record it as Cue 5, my default time of 3 will populate in the Int Up/Down column of...
  • 'Locking' encoder pages to stop encoders moving around [Apex]

    • 2 Comments
    Hi all, I'm running into an issue caused by the Apex encoders display being 3 pages in one. I know already a current feature request about unifying the pages ( https://community.etcconnect.com/control_consoles/eos-family-consoles/i/feature-requests...
  • Partitions and Groups: Absolute Selection Mode

    • 1 Comment
    When using partitions (and groups as cue list filters) it almost would be preferable for the selections to be absolute and not react to changes in patch. So often, we'll add a channel here, or move this channel to there, and now my partitions and filter...

    It would helpful to see also the Fader Type in the Fader Page Tab, e.g. Master, Effect Size, Effect Rate, Effect Master ...
