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

  • 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...
  • 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...
  • Feature Request - Home Rate/Size Fader Button Assignment Option

    • 5 Comments
    It would be supper helpful on any fader that is homed at 50% (ex. rate and size adjustment faders) to have an additional button assignment option that would let you home only the rate/size/etc. fader. Could even give the option of assigning a time to...
  • I wish there was more "loading" user feedback while an A3d model loads until it is complete.

    • 0 Comments
    See the videos at the link below In 2 cases opening one file from previously sitting in a different one, and the 3rd case opening from a fresh install. In all instances, the A3D model takes some time to fully load but there isn’t any feedback to let you...
  • Direct Selects that Flexi to your Channel Selection

    • 0 Comments
    A teatime thought... the console already does this to an extent by visually highlighting the relevant Direct Selects that your channel selection is included in. It'd be nice to have an additional toggle state (per Direct Select bank) that narrows down...
  • HOME HOME to send fixture to home setting

    • 0 Comments
    I was changing profiles on a dozen movers the other day and found myself double tapping the HOME button when done as if I was putting a light to full. Thought this might be a good feature as I have never entered anything else when sending a fixture to...
  • Ability to record the values/position of faders into a cue.

    • 0 Comments
    Hi Currently working on an Eos based working light system with a magic sheet interface. I propose being able to record the fader position into a cue as well as the values of the units involved. This would allow some of the working light "states" to...
  • Keyboard shortcuts for camera views

    • 0 Comments
    In most 3D softwares, there's keyboard shortcuts for switching from top, side, right, etc. views. It's clumsy trying to navigate around when I can't quickly access the top view. Check out the Blender keyboard shortcuts. Maybe they need to be CTRL+[#]...
  • Alert times triggered by external Q triggers

    • 1 Comment
    Hello, This is a request from a trainee. They are running a show where cues are triggered by a mixture of manual Go presses, and OSC triggers from automation, and are finding it irritating that their alert times are only running if the cue is triggered...
  • Feature Request: Option to make auto mark mark earliest

    • 2 Comments
    In most cases, moving lights could move to its position, but automark forces it to the cue before the change happens. It would be great to have the option to make the move as early as possible.
