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

  • A “Raw Output” Flexi State for Tombstones and Setting for Magic Sheet Channels Objects

    • 0 Comments
    A flexi state that shows actual output from channels in tombstone view and ability to show actual output on magic sheet channel objects. This would show what parked channels are outputting, what channels are actually outputting when a proportion is applied...
  • Custom Direct Select > Command

    • 1 Comment
    In addition to the Button item, it would be really helpful if we had a command item like in Magic sheets, with the same label and Icon options in my other feature request. This would let us change another Custom Direct Select without having to make snapshots...

    Hello, it would be nice to have in the Fixture Builder, besides Degres and Percent, also Hz as an "Appended Unit". Or an other way to teach Eos the " Appended Unit". yours thilda
  • Have a Magic sheet show an OSC command like "/eos/out/pending/cue/text", but ONLY the label of the cue.

    ...not also the number, fade time and percentage completed? I would then also like to specify specific fields to view, like notes, cue number, ext links...
  • export Cue List Spreadsheed

    • 0 Comments
    I'd love to export my current Cuelist as an Spreadsheet. Exporting as an ASCII and doing the Magic with a spreadsheet-Programm is not what i like to do. Documentation would be great again. And handing the Show to someone for what-ever-Desk is possible...
  • same syntax in the patch and in the augmented editor for placing fixtures

    • 0 Comments
    hello, i wonder why in the patch, to determinate X Y or Z, we have to use [.] while in the editor we have to use [,]. To be honest, would be quite more convenient to use dot everywhere.
  • Sorting Scene Direct Select

    • 0 Comments
    Is it possible to order Scene direct selects by scene number rather than orderd by cue lists? For episodic TV and film at the start of each day I make a new cue list and label it with the date. Cue 1 of that list is our scene number, say 101. Cue...
  • Linear Effect Scale Data

    • 1 Comment
    It would be great to be able to enter (+)#% or /# values in the scale box for linear effects. This would assist in creating linear effects that are relative to the intensity. That way we could change a channels intensity on the fly without having to adjust...
  • During FPE, you should be able to lock and XYZ position OR maintain it among a group of fixtures

    • 0 Comments
    Finally trying out FPE in the real world. It's a very large space so the margin of error is very high making it not a great test case and sending my lights all over the place. I know FPE is still very much a "in theory" process as it becomes refined....
  • Ability to see Presets in A3d just like Palettes

    • 0 Comments
    I recently discovered if you look at Focus, Beams, Col pals in blind, in an A3d display, you can see a visual representation of the palette. It appears to turn the virtual intesntiy to full temporarily just inside a3d so you can see those attributes....
