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

  • Add MIDI Timecode On/Off For Macros

    • 1 Comment
    As of right now, Eos only offers a "MIDI TC Toggle" control for macros, making it difficult to be sure whether you are enabling or disabling it in a semi-automated environment. Adding definitive "MIDI TC On" and "MIDI TC Off" options would simplify this...
  • 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...
  • Export vector based magic sheets as true vector based SVGs (including imported svg elements)

    • 1 Comment
    For years, Eos has rasterized magic sheet elements that were imported prior to exporting them. IE, if you import an SVG floorplan, when you export the MS as a SVG, all your Eos symbols and text will be vectors, but the floorplan will export as a raster...
  • Scribble Strip

    Scribble for direct selects and maybe faders
  • 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...
  • Enable clicking on the fader Cell in the submaster tab ( tab 15) so faders can be assigned.

    • 0 Comments
    All the other cells are clickable except the fader cell.
  • 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...
  • Export Icons Folder

    • 0 Comments
    Importing Icons has been a great feature, but once imported there is no way to export them. I think we should be able to export our Icons folder and a folder of Icons used in the showfile, similar to exporting Show Pixel Map Media, for easier backup...
  • 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...
  • 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...
