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

  • 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...

  • 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.
  • 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...
