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

    Magic Sheets are great but one aspect I have always struggled with is how to represent a multi-cell fixture that still enables direct control of the parameters I want to see when designing/controlling such fixtures. The problem: If you have a lineal...

    Would love to have a toggle or option to change the order of direct selects to run top to bottom, left to right so numbers go sequentially down, then over to the next column vs the current method of left to right across then down to the next row.

    I think it would be very useful if there was a more advanced Flexi option for Custom Direct Selects. Selected only: Show only the available Direct Selects for the active/selected channel. (e.g. only show presets with data for that fixture or colour...

    Coming from Light Jockey and Onyx, I find the solo function really useful. I was really surprised when I took the Eos class and asked about it and found out it doesn’t exist. It seems like a super simple feature to implement.

    Could you allow labeling outputs with a sensible same? At the moment outputs like Gadgets or Gateways are labelled with their serial number. This makes it hard to tell them apart. It makes even more sense when using the Apex Garage, but adding a Gadget...

    Dear ETC-People, I like the possibility to have an incoming universe routed to another one using the options I have in the ShowControl Tab. I also like the idea that I could actually capture incoming data on EOS. I could even grab data to create cues...

    With making the icons bigger pushing it to centre doesn't increase the scale size of the icon it would still remain at its maximum size. Would there be a scope to add a scaling option to make the entire button the icon? Much like when you boot an apex...

    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...
