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

  • 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...
  • Color flag on macro direct selects

    The color flags for macros (red, green, dark) show a flag on the DS button, but white shows nothing. White should also be a flag.
  • Magic Sheet Picker Images Larger

    • 1 Comment
    If we want to have different types of conventional fixtures in our rig display, we have to create a new type. IE I make a copy of dimmer, name it Fresnel, and set the Fresnel physical model for that new fixture. It would be convenient if we could set...
  • [Feature Request] Bump inhibits and cuelists

    • 2 Comments
    Hi Since I'm doing a lot of theatre but also live bands, I want to start using my GIO also for busking, so my GIO is not home alone half of the time. I would love to be able to flash my inhibits and cuelists. As far as I know, at the moment it is...
  • Colored grouped cues inside PSD like Qlab does

    • 0 Comments
    Working in a multi user environment, being the house light designer, I wish it could be possible to group x number of cues inside a colored frame so that everyone can understand blocs of cues working together. I find that scenes attributes are not visual...

  • Apply Alert TIme as Follow Time

    • 0 Comments
    Since Alert Time finally made it's way from Cobalt to EOS, it would be great if a related feature would too: On Cobalt you can apply the recorded Alert Time as the Follow Time for the Cue. (Or multiple Cues at once). This would be handy on EOS as...

  • Proportional Change on +%/-%

    • 0 Comments
    I often find the changes I need to make to a channel's level are more related to its current level, than an absolute percentage change. I'd like to be able to set my +% button to /200 (double the channel's current value), and my -% button to /70.7 (sqrt...
