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

  • Password/4-digit pin protection to lockout console

    • 1 Comment
    I know this is something along the roadmap somewhere, but I haven't seen it listed in the new feature requests feed and figured it should be moved here as well. We'd love to see password or 4-digit pin-style protection ability for eos consoles. Regarding...
  • export Cue List Spreadsheed

    • 0 Comments
    I'd love to export my current Cuelist as an Spreadsheet. Exporting as an ASCII and doing the Magic with a spreadsheet-Programm is not what i like to do. Documentation would be great again. And handing the Show to someone for what-ever-Desk is possible...
  • [recall from]/[copy to] to work for focused conventionals

    • 0 Comments
    Nowadays often the case is that you, during a revival or festival, replace a conventional tungsten or LED fixture with a movinglight. As you can in patch click to focus for conventionals, there must be a virtual XYZ target for them hidden somewhere...
  • Scenic Element that is scalable

    • 3 Comments
    Hey there, I would like to be able to scale objects with scenic elements. There is a curtain assigned to a scenic element. Would be great to fade between "closed" (normal) and "opened" (scaled in Y to be thin). I hope this explaination is understandable...

  • Option to Stop Intens Effects During Highlight

    • 3 Comments
    When I highlight a fixture, it's very annoying if it and/or other fixtures keep flashing. You can use the highlight and lowlight presets to squash strobe, but not effects. And because highlight rem dim only affects intens, you can't even stop strobes...
  • Emitter/Color Flag Parameter Group

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great to be able to grab all emitters and take them to a level, most commonly, 0 or 100. For Subtractive CMY, this is an easy enough macro to make since it's 3 parameters but for additive mixing there are so many emitter types that you can...
  • Stage Managers/Cast Members Reduced Access App

    • 0 Comments
    Not sure if this is the right place or if it would be better in the 3.0 Beta, anyway. After watching some of the videos on Augment3d, and specifically iRFR, it would be amazing to have an app with the Augment3d integration without control of anything...
