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

    Those who know me will know that this is really the start of yet another go at a much bigger discussion, but as a relatively simple starting point: Could we please have the ability to assign groups to the Apex mini-wheels? So as soon as you move the...
  • Preparing and Load a cue with load/go via a popup ...

    • 5 Comments
    Hello, will there be an upcoming update for EOS that integrates a cue list system on a fader, within which a cue could be loaded using the LOAD and GO buttons? "Load" would allow, via a pop-up window, the selection of the next cue and its placement...
  • 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...

  • Direct Selects that Flexi to your Channel Selection

    • 0 Comments
    A teatime thought... the console already does this to an extent by visually highlighting the relevant Direct Selects that your channel selection is included in. It'd be nice to have an additional toggle state (per Direct Select bank) that narrows down...

    • 0 Comments
    Case: Macro 901 (for instance)- being assigned to a Direct Select or TK 10 or any of the buttons on the consoles that have buttons that are assignable. I would like to be able to press on the macro and have it fire then pause and not wait for input...

    When in the macro editor, the mouse scroll behavior should be based on if the mouse is hovering over the macro list versus the macro script itself.
