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

  • A3d: Zoom to Selection + Beam

    • 3 Comments
    Zoom to selection is only kinda somewhat useful: Most of the time I care more about what's coming out of the light than the fixture itself. A zoom to selection + beam (showing you both the fixture and the beam) would be much more useful. Mac, b...
  • Create Magic Sheet from address locations tool (so we can see desk channel AND pixel map output in magic sheets automatically)

    • 0 Comments
    I used the Augment3d "Create Magic Sheet From Channel Locations" tool and made a magic sheet from my Augment3d file. I have a grid of fixtures that were set up to channels in the magic sheet. Since magic sheets cant see overall output without being connected...

  • Enable Text field for all magic sheet objects

    It would be very useful to customize the display text on all magic sheet objects, independent of the target name or label. I primarily use labels to distinguish items within their target list, which can make the labels lengthy and unsuited for display...

    Please hide, or give us the option to hide, the encoder bar on Ion and Nomad (without programming wing). On the Ion it is unnecessary because it has the encoders displayed on the built-in LCD. On Nomad it is unnecessary because there are no encoders....

    Now that the parameter display could be rearranged, is there a purpose for the tile in the bottom left. Next to "Intensity". Could this be populated with "AllNPs"? That way the AllNPs can be a tile even when the CIA is collapsed. Thanks.

    Having an effect on a channel that is manual I think should post a "Manual Channels" flag in the live display. This includes manual data in the Effect Status Display. Thanks!
  • Allow FX values to be recorded into Palettes

    • 0 Comments
    Right now this is only possible with a workaround, having the FX stopped and with its exit being a stop and hold and stopping the effect. But this has issues in and of itself, and we should be able to just record the "pink" or light yellow value (from...
