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

    It would be really helpful as a designer to print my magic sheet out on paper and use that to set lights or in lighting documentation. I use the printout to hang, focus, and address fixtures and easily have something to tell me where in space a light...

    Macro command `Display_Non_Manual_Level` does not affect magic sheets, but it would be very useful if it did.

    Are there any extra buttons on Ion/Gio/Gio@5/Eos consoles (Time Template, I'm looking at you) that could be repurposed into a CIA expand/collapse button? I know you can use Displays, but that requires 2 presses, and sometimes you have to double-tap a...

    My venue had a crash of the console caused when doing an advanced merge. The merge was passed the bounds of the target limits. In this case it was: Submasters: Start 900, End 999, Target 1000 When a user attempts to merge past a targets limit...

    Hey guys, I like using the ESD for editing effects in live, but if I have several effects running at once and I type [effect] on the command line there’s no easy was to select all live effects at once. Instead I have to type in the number of every...

  • Add "Field Angle" as an MVR option

    When importing from an MVR file (specifically from Vectorworks) you are locked into Beam Angle as the field that aligns to the Augment3d Beam Angle. But in Vectorworks language, that should really be field angle. Would love the option to choose either...

  • Constants in absolute effects

    Currently I can assign a variable as a timing for an absolute effect but if I do so I can no longer adjust the cycle time of the effect. I would like to propose the idea of a constant for timing that can be defined and is unchanged if I change the cycle...

    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...

  • Fade Area at the edge of Zones in Augment3d

    A 'fade out area' for Augment3d-Zones would be great. You could set it to a specific distance, so a beam that touches the zone fades from it's current intensity to zero as it moves further into the zone.

  • Effect on Parent or Cells attribute

    While there are ways to get this result it would be nice if Effects could have an attribute toggle to only apply the effect onto the Channel selection Fixture Parent only, or onto the Channel selection Fixture Cells only. Default behavior would be current...
