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

  • Pixel Mapping- Intensity only

    • 3 Comments
    I've had a few projects now, where I would like the pixel map to only affect the intensity, so I can use colour palettes to mix the colour- the reason being, that for fixtures that have more colour parameters then RGBW, I can't achieve the same depth...
  • Feature Request - Home Rate/Size Fader Button Assignment Option

    • 5 Comments
    It would be supper helpful on any fader that is homed at 50% (ex. rate and size adjustment faders) to have an additional button assignment option that would let you home only the rate/size/etc. fader. Could even give the option of assigning a time to...
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • Curves for everything

    • 2 Comments
    Curves should be widely applicable. Absolute Effect Steps, Submasters, Cues (not just parts), Sneak Time.
  • OSC-Output Submaster-Level

    • 0 Comments
    I would like to get Submaster-Levels via OSC so that I can control Submasters from different Controllers.
  • Option to Stop Intens Effects During Highlight

    • 3 Comments
    When I highlight a fixture, it's very annoying if it and/or other fixtures keep flashing. You can use the highlight and lowlight presets to squash strobe, but not effects. And because highlight rem dim only affects intens, you can't even stop strobes...
  • Emitter/Color Flag Parameter Group

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great to be able to grab all emitters and take them to a level, most commonly, 0 or 100. For Subtractive CMY, this is an easy enough macro to make since it's 3 parameters but for additive mixing there are so many emitter types that you can...
