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

  • Ti Encoder panel as a solo accessory/wing

    • 1 Comment
    The Ti Encoder area of the console is great, far more intuitive than smaller consoles in the range, like the Gio or Ion because of the accompanying touch screen. I use an @5 as my primary and a nomad as my back up consoles, but to have an 'encoder wing...

    PSD should not scroll down past the last cue. I.E. if I have 5 cues recorded, and there is space to view all 5 cues, when I run the cues, all should be visible. Cue 1 should not disappear off the top of the frame as soon as I hit Cue 3. I work in TV and...
  • Chan Orientation and Position on Encoders While in Patch

    • Planned for Future on
    • 2 Comments
    It would be cool to to be able to move and rotate fixtures organically with the encoders whenever you are in the Augment3D section in patch, it would be just like controling a moving light. The focus encoder page button could become the toggle between...
  • Home Home to ignore home preset

    • 0 Comments
    Would it be possible for Home Home to ignore the Home Preset. i.e if you had a shutter cut in the home preset you could do shutter Home Home and it would home the shutter frame to its original home value with all shutter cuts out instead of having to...

    I have data recorded into palettes and presets. The live table shows the presets and palettes the channels are receiving data from. When I press and hold [data], or press shift&[data], the parameters showing the presets change to showing the palette data...
  • You should be able to get from Patch to A3d Control Mode without having to go through Live Ch Display tab

    • 1 Comment
    I know this has been discussed...and relates to the years long discussion of hitting Live also bringing the Ch Display into focus and when that is not always what you want. Probably not such an issue in a situation with lots of monitors, but now that...
  • @Level as Intensity Palettes

    • 1 Comment
    It would be nice if @ Level could be more powerful and reference an intensity palette for more diverse rigs. Most of the time each type of fixture has its own sweet spot for a starting intensity and having it set somewhere for very quick recall would...
