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

  • channel-level go to cue

    • 1 Comment
    I often need to make a change in blind (or a bunch of changes in a range of cues) but we'll also be running long cues or multipart cues or have some other reason we can't do a global go-to-cue. That reason could be we're flying through cues and making...
  • Please add 'Zoom Out and Zoom In' to the ML controls

    • 0 Comments
    The ML controls always take up way too much space when you split screen the monitors. You have zoom capabilities in practically every other window, it would be great to make the ML controls smaller. I typically share the screen with a magic sheet having...
  • 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...
  • OSC support for getting a channels' parameter ( /eos/get/patch/// ?!)

    • 0 Comments
    When pulling data via OSC there is welcome support for high-level features like Augment3d or FPE, Palettes or Pixmaps - but none for the basic parameters of a channel. This it would be amazing to get: /eos/get/patch/<chan>/<part>/<parameter> ( Ofc one...
  • focus conventional with XYZ values and keep target memory for next venues

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, i wondered if this was thinkable, this would make them quite easy to focus and allow to focus them once in a tour, and to get augmented reasonably easily uo to date. This could be part of the patch tab, as it already gets orientation parametres?
  • Musical Instrument icon pack

    • 0 Comments
    I like the idea of the icons, but without musical instruments, the concept is kind of pointless. You see here, my Focus Palettes have downloaded musical icons from this website . (mostly) but black on forest green does not translate. I can't change the...
  • Feature Request: Background Image Rotate

    • 0 Comments
    It would be super useful to add the ability to set a 2D rotation on images used as backgrounds in magic sheets. Currently, I have to edit a photo outside Eos in order to rotate it 90° etc. Having the option to do that the same way we can change scale...
  • VMS Update

    • 0 Comments
    The advancement of integrated graphics on the new Intel and AMD chips seems like a great opportunity to add some features to the VMS. I would love to see 3D pixel maps built within Eos in addition to complex shapes much like what Enttec ELM can do.
  • Storing rate and size values modified by faders

    • 1 Comment
    Hi, I would like to able to store in the cues the size or rate of an effect while modifying them by a fader
  • CIA expand/collapse button

    • 1 Comment
    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...
