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

  • Password/4-digit pin protection to lockout console

    • 1 Comment
    I know this is something along the roadmap somewhere, but I haven't seen it listed in the new feature requests feed and figured it should be moved here as well. We'd love to see password or 4-digit pin-style protection ability for eos consoles. Regarding...
  • 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...
  • OUTPUT COLORIMETRY

    • 2 Comments
    Hi everyone, There’s something I’ve suggested before (with no luck so far – ETC France doesn’t really get the point…). I’d love to have a new window dedicated to output colorimetry . Once my show is programmed, I want to be able to create output...
  • 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...
  • Can we get Password access controls to the console?

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • 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...
  • HOME HOME to send fixture to home setting

    • 0 Comments
    I was changing profiles on a dozen movers the other day and found myself double tapping the HOME button when done as if I was putting a light to full. Thought this might be a good feature as I have never entered anything else when sending a fixture to...
  • Record To Show Cuelist Before Pressing Enter

    • 2 Comments
    Currently if working on a cuelist >1, going: RECORD CUE 1 ENTER will change the command line to RECORD CUE 2/1 ENTER (or whatever cuelist) but only AFTER you press enter. It'd be great to have a visual confirmation of the cuelist to be recorded...
  • Add a Softkey selection option for Custom Direct Selects

    • 0 Comments
    When creating a Custom Direct Select and you select Button and Console Button appears; it would be very useful to have another option for the Softkeys in this same location. This would allow the creation of a Direct Select which has a Softkey function...
  • Modernise Nomad application for High-DPI displays

    • 0 Comments
    Currently, Nomad is effectively designed for a maximum of 100% UI scaling on a 1080p display. When Windows display scaling is set above 100% (such as 125% or 150%), parts of the UI extend beyond the screen edges and do not scale down to fit within the...
