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

  • XY color wheel controls on encoders

    • Planned for Future on
    • 2 Comments
    XY is quickly becoming prevalent in the film world. It's not as complicated as many forum posts seem to make it: just meter the light, use our built in XY to adjust to the XY you are trying to match, record CP. The issue is being quick and precise with...
  • Link Back to Cue

    • 0 Comments
    Just like link-to, there needs to be a link back. For example I can use link to so we can skip over a block of cues that we're going to skip this performance, but if I need to jump backwards over that skipped section I need to manually go back to cue...
  • Tint tools on Custom Encoder Maps! and maybe ESD Encoders.

    • 0 Comments
    Add tint tools to custom encoder map selectable options. And maybe... the logic is less solid... but also add the ESD rate, scale etc etc to custom encoder options, this should maybe open up the ESD when you start turning one of these?
  • 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...

  • Order objects in Augment3D Hierarchy

    • 0 Comments
    When importing channels, the channels are not organized numerically. They're kinda all over the place. It would be great to have some sorting options of the items in the hierarchy Example of unsorted channels
  • 'Locking' encoder pages to stop encoders moving around [Apex]

    • 2 Comments
    Hi all, I'm running into an issue caused by the Apex encoders display being 3 pages in one. I know already a current feature request about unifying the pages ( https://community.etcconnect.com/control_consoles/eos-family-consoles/i/feature-requests...
  • Partitions and Groups: Absolute Selection Mode

    • 1 Comment
    When using partitions (and groups as cue list filters) it almost would be preferable for the selections to be absolute and not react to changes in patch. So often, we'll add a channel here, or move this channel to there, and now my partitions and filter...
