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

  • Audio Input for Effects and BPM

    • 1 Comment
    Hey, a feature in Grand MA is effects can be adjusted to a click track or another audio source being fed in from a mixer. For musicals and concert events, this would make it a breeze to program/busk with knowing your rate would match with the song playing...
  • 'Favorite'-folder

    • 0 Comments
    A special subfolder in the 'Open'-menu for specifically tagged showfiles. (A star-icon is common practice I suppose)
  • Query Discrete

    • 0 Comments
    It would be useful when cleaning referenced data to be able to query the discrete data to see anything not following the by-type leader.
  • Trigger cues or macros based on fader position

    • 0 Comments
    This is a bit of an odd request perhaps, but it's implemented in at least one console I know of and I found it useful in a recent project so hacked it together using OSC but it would be good to be able to execute cues (or macros or presets I guess) based...
  • Multiple Show File Templates

    • 0 Comments
    I work in a multi-venue location. When selecting new show from template, could there be a pop-up showing multiple templates, i.e. for each venue?
  • Change opacity of text on direct select buttons so just icons can be visible

    • 0 Comments
    This would be a setting for apex devices where you select what you want on your smart direct select buttons. I find it annoying that I have to remove the text or have text overlaying the images when I could just set the text opacity to be 0 percent so...
  • Automark cels

    • 0 Comments
    I would like an option to reverse the way a fixture with cels automark. I personally would like the cels default at zero and the masters channel default at full. There are fixtures where the master sets the color temperature and the cels do RGBW colour...
  • 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...
  • 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.
