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

  • More time to see or read why the BACKUP synchronization failed

    • 0 Comments
    There is a message coming up on screen while synchronizing the backup console. If the sync fail, we don't have time to see or read why. I had to record the screen with my phone to be able to read why it failed.
  • Sensible names for console outputs

    • 0 Comments
    Could you allow labeling outputs with a sensible same? At the moment outputs like Gadgets or Gateways are labelled with their serial number. This makes it hard to tell them apart. It makes even more sense when using the Apex Garage, but adding a Gadget...
  • Marking for Focus/Beam/Form-effects

    • 0 Comments
    Could we get marking for said effects if they are set to fade via rate? It would move the fixtures to a starting-position, similar to starting a focus-effect with a rate of zero, but respecting mark timing. Maybe this could be done via a Softkey or...
  • Product Idea: Augment3d Camera Position Sensor

    • 0 Comments
    Augment3d has the ability to be very powerful for film production. If we had a small accelerometer/rfid/positioning type product we could attach to a camera build we could then use that as our augment3d viewer on a laptop. The purpose would be to view...
  • Live Moves Flags - (ignore colour live moves)

    • 0 Comments
    I feel as if Live Colour Moves are rather ubiquitous at this point in time while live Focus & Beam moves are sometimes an obvious red flag in your show file. There should be a way to "ignore" live colour moves and/or highlight Focus & Beam moves. I...

  • Allow Sub @ +/- Level

    • 1 Comment
    I can use `Channel @ +/- Level Enter` to modify a channel up say 20 points from wherever it currently is, I think submasters should be able to use the same syntax. As part of my break macro I want to automatically glow the house lights, but the best...
  • Respect Entry/Cue Time when adding channels to running effects

    • 0 Comments
    When adding channels to a running effect in a subsequent cue (e.g., Cue 1: Ch 1-5; Cue 2: Ch 1-5 + 10-11), the effect for the entire channel set restarts instantly. This causes a visible snap in 0 seconds, ignoring the effect's entry time. New channels...
  • Lock live & PSD windows to live output when switching to blind

    • 0 Comments
    I would love to have the option to lock a live summary or table view and a psd to live so that when I switch into blind these stay following the current live cue and channels active in current cue. Sometimes I would like these two displays on one...
