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

  • Macro editor scroll when hovering

    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.
  • Show control - disable individual event

    • 0 Comments
    Currently you can turn off an entire event list, but it would be great to do this on a event by event basis. Example use case: - Time of day -- system startup -- but perhaps we are dark for a while, so we simply want to disable this event from running...

  • Dynamic Fade Feature for Specific Parameters

    • 0 Comments
    Instead of creating and applying a custom curve for specific fixture parameters, it would be great for Eos to have a stock feature that could be a dynamic fade for fixture parameters. An example would be programming movement from one focus palette to...
  • Power Controls Menu on Eos

    • 0 Comments
    With ETC creating many new Power Controls Products in the last few years to support LEDs, such as the Echo Relay Panel, SensorIQ breaker panel, or the BluesSystem Control Panel, it makes sense for Eos to logically separate power controls into a separate...

  • In labels, eos hardkeys should append Spaces

    • 0 Comments
    Hi. Labeling gets hectic sometimes. I'm a big fan of using hardkeys for labeling targets that don't need detailed descriptions. Let's say I'm programming a 3-step Absolure effect with 3 Presets, I label them Effect 1 Part 1, Effect 1 Part 2...... ...
