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

  • Encoder Mapping Parameter Copy & Paste

    • 1 Comment
    I'm really excited about Encoder Mappings; currently we can copy paste the Encoder pages, it would be great if we could also copy paste the individual encoder parameters. My preference is to have Thrust A > D on Shutter Page 1 with Angles on Page 2, and...
  • Scenic Element Movable - Add the ability to have the Size X Y Z dimensions of an object saved in cues

    • 4 Comments
    Scenic Element Movable Could you add the ability to have the Size X Y Z dimensions of an object saved in cues, or at least changes to those dimensions? This would be useful for representing ( in Augment3d ) opening house curtains part way, or...
  • Channel Lists should focus to most recent channel or not at all until [Enter]

    • 1 Comment
    Maybe this could be a user-level setting rather than a global change, but I struggle with the channel views changing focus while I'm building a channel selection. Usually (with some exceptions) while building a channel selection when [+] or [Thru] is...

  • Smart Custom Direct Selects - same as Flexi Option selected

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • Power Controls Menu on Eos

    • 0 Comments
    With ETC creating many new Power Controls Products in the last few years to support LEDs, such as the Echo Relay Panel, SensorIQ breaker panel, or the BluesSystem Control Panel, it makes sense for Eos to logically separate power controls into a separate...

    Hi There, I may have missed something and there may be a way to do it, however I can't see how. It would be great to be able to be able to channel filter in reverse IE Minus channel X & Y not just filter to selected channels if you see what I mean....
  • Cut forward should delay marking lights so not visible?

    • 0 Comments
    At the moment if you cut forward into a cue in zero time (ie. shift-GO), you see any lights that should be fading out and marking in that cue move live because you catch them starting to move. This tends to confuse lighting designers who think there...
  • SDK or specification for fixture 3D models

    • 0 Comments
    Provide a SDK or specification (format, max vertices, groups) so that talented community members, and fixture manufactures can contribute 3D models for fixtures that currently do not have models.

    Hello, it would be nice to have in the Fixture Builder, besides Degres and Percent, also Hz as an "Appended Unit". Or an other way to teach Eos the " Appended Unit". yours thilda
