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

  • 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...
  • Bug: Export Advanced Patch xx thru yy hasn't worked in years

    • 1 Comment
    Bug rather than feature request: If you try to export just a range of channels (export>CSV>advanced>patch xx thru yy) you still end up with the entire show's patch exported to the csv. This has been broken for years (4 or 5 at least).
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • 'Favorite'-folder

    • 0 Comments
    A special subfolder in the 'Open'-menu for specifically tagged showfiles. (A star-icon is common practice I suppose)
  • 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...
  • The position materials in the effect can be recorded into the focus template.效果里的位置素材可以被记录到焦点样板中。

    • 0 Comments
    我们可以一些对称的焦点效果获得不错的造型,我需要把这些造型记录在我的焦点样板中进行使用。 Edit by eos.moderator after a conversation with OP: The OP's request is that parameter values generated by effects are recordable while the effect is still applied to the parameters. His workflow...
  • 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.
