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

  • Light boxes and LED Tape in Augment

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • 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...
  • Do Not Show Flash in Command History

    • 1 Comment
    Flash On Flash Off is not a useful thing to post to the command history. Certainly not every time I flash the same channel. It scrolls the actually useful information out of sight. I don't want to see it at all, but if we must, just show it once or "Flash...
  • Direct Select Order Toggle

    • 0 Comments
    Would love to have a toggle or option to change the order of direct selects to run top to bottom, left to right so numbers go sequentially down, then over to the next column vs the current method of left to right across then down to the next row.
  • Support for RTSP, RTP and RTMP streaming protocols in place of NDI.

    • 0 Comments
    Now that the roll out of NDI has been halted. Support for more generic streaming protocols like RTSP, RTP, RTCP and RTMP would allow us the same general usability. These protocols are already used in almost all security cameras, allowing EOS users more...

  • Adjust Linear Effect Scale on Nomad

    • 0 Comments
    As of right now I don't believe there is a way to adjust the horizontal or vertical scale of linear effects without physical encoders. Focus effect scales can be adjusted in the Effect Status Display, but I can't find a matching feature for linear effects...

  • 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...
