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

  • Live Moves Flags - (ignore colour live moves)

    • 0 Comments
    I feel as if Live Colour Moves are rather ubiquitous at this point in time while live Focus & Beam moves are sometimes an obvious red flag in your show file. There should be a way to "ignore" live colour moves and/or highlight Focus & Beam moves. I...

  • add ability to copy lamp controls from existing fixture in the fixture editor

    When creating a new fixture, I would love to have the ability to copy and paste the lamp controls from an existing fixture. This would be extremely helpful in trying out new modes in existing lights, or new lights in the same product line.
  • Color and Beam Palettes - By Type without Leader Channel

  • Trigger cues or macros based on fader position

    • 0 Comments
    This is a bit of an odd request perhaps, but it's implemented in at least one console I know of and I found it useful in a recent project so hacked it together using OSC but it would be good to be able to execute cues (or macros or presets I guess) based...
