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

  • Tint tools on Custom Encoder Maps! and maybe ESD Encoders.

    • 0 Comments
    Add tint tools to custom encoder map selectable options. And maybe... the logic is less solid... but also add the ESD rate, scale etc etc to custom encoder options, this should maybe open up the ESD when you start turning one of these?
  • MSC TX ID per Cue List

    • 0 Comments
    Assign an MSC TX ID on a Cue List Basis so that a cue list can be dedicated to a particular destination rather than having to set it globally for all MSC sends.
  • Completely silent installation option for EOS Family 3 that suppresses all dialog boxes and UI elements during installation.

    • 1 Comment
    Description: We need a completely silent installation option for EOS Family 3 that suppresses all dialog boxes and UI elements during installation. Current Situation: The existing /S switch in ETC_EosFamily_v3 setup.exe automates some of the installation...
  • 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...
  • Fader labeling rule for CueList

    • 0 Comments
    It would helpful that there is a space between "L" and the Cue List number like on other fader types, e.g. "L 1 Main" instead of "L1 Main" All other fader follows the rule <fader type><space><number> Parsing the fader label with OSC output will become...
  • 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...
  • advanced features when changing fixture types - filling gaps in pallettes/presets/cues

    • 0 Comments
    If one is touring or a play comes to your venue but was built on another rigg it´s nice to just unpatch your original show, change fixture types to the ones that are actually used and patch them in. What happens at that point is that all your pallette...
  • 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...
  • SPECTRO !

    • 0 Comments
    About spectrometers – I’m pretty into the InLicht ULTRA . Super solid tool, straight-up connected to its app, no endless menu diving. The CEO is great, the product is simple and works. Basically just the sensor + app, nothing overcomplicated. Anyone...
  • Pixel map variable response time

    • 1 Comment
    I would like pixel maps to have a variable response time. Problem: the pixels now respond directly to the content, resulting in pixels snapping on and off giving an extremely busy image, especially with lower resolution pixel maps and more graphical...
