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

  • Change opacity of text on direct select buttons so just icons can be visible

    • 0 Comments
    This would be a setting for apex devices where you select what you want on your smart direct select buttons. I find it annoying that I have to remove the text or have text overlaying the images when I could just set the text opacity to be 0 percent so...
  • Fader labeling rule for CueList

  • A3D Beam Edge Slider

    The current system for adjustment of the beam edge of fixtures in A3D patch is kinda clunky and it would be great if instead of a field to enter the sharpness of the beam edge there was a slider so you could virtually run the barrel of fixtures

  • Differentiate Targets with Trailing Zeros

    • 5 Comments
    Group 0.1 should not be the same as group 0.10. If I'm using the 0.# system to record groups based on areas, the system breaks down when I have more than 9 areas, since area 1 and area 10 need to store into the same group. Just like in software, version...
