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

  • 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...
  • Fader Button Set Level

    An extra option for Fader button config, A set level option with an option for the level, maybe even with a time? Ie, Homeing FX Masters, setting inhibits and show subs to show level at the push of a button. Personally, I run haze inhibs at 50% as...
  • 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...
  • [recall from]/[copy to] to work for focused conventionals

    • 0 Comments
    Nowadays often the case is that you, during a revival or festival, replace a conventional tungsten or LED fixture with a movinglight. As you can in patch click to focus for conventionals, there must be a virtual XYZ target for them hidden somewhere...
  • [Recall From] discrete times and delays from other channels

    • 0 Comments
    When coming up with a very complicated selection order for discrete timing it gets frustrating to realize that I didn't think to save said complicated selection into a group, or that I don't fully remember the discrete timing sequence when trying to apply...
  • Scenic Element that is scalable

    • 3 Comments
    Hey there, I would like to be able to scale objects with scenic elements. There is a curtain assigned to a scenic element. Would be great to fade between "closed" (normal) and "opened" (scaled in Y to be thin). I hope this explaination is understandable...
  • Export vector based magic sheets as true vector based SVGs (including imported svg elements)

    • 1 Comment
    For years, Eos has rasterized magic sheet elements that were imported prior to exporting them. IE, if you import an SVG floorplan, when you export the MS as a SVG, all your Eos symbols and text will be vectors, but the floorplan will export as a raster...
  • Query Query

    • 0 Comments
    What if Query Query acted like select active, so it would filter to non-sub channels. IE: Query Query @ full would grab all chans at full filtering out the chans getting their value from a submaster.
  • 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...
