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

  • Reassign Event Cue List: Event X Cue Y/ enter

    • 1 Comment
    There should be a syntax to assign events to a different cue list. For example if event list 1 is built triggering cues in cue list 1/, you should be able to select all the events in event list 1 and type cue 2/ enter to reassign to cue list 2.
  • '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...
  • Improved Design for Multi-Cell Lighting Fixtures within Magic Sheets

    • 1 Comment
    Magic Sheets are great but one aspect I have always struggled with is how to represent a multi-cell fixture that still enables direct control of the parameters I want to see when designing/controlling such fixtures. The problem: If you have a lineal...

  • Light boxes and LED Tape in Augment

    As we have gone into panto season this year (as well all have been!) I’ve found the usefulness of augment as a programming aid. One thing that would have made this slightly easier would have been the ability to add the LED tape and light boxes to my Denice...
  • Virtual XY, virtual hue/sat for XY profiles

    • 0 Comments
    The new integration of XY input for any fixture using the color picker is fantastic! But its use is a little hamstrung without virtual parameters backing it up so we can: - access X/Y in the ML controls and see it in the channel display for any fixture...
  • Partitions Display Page with column height adjustments

    • 1 Comment
    Hi, Using partitions can get frustrating when your channel count is quite large and out of number order. (I'm using channel numbers into 5 digits.) I would like a page dedicated to Partitions a la the Groups Display page and I'd like to be able to...

    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...
