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

  • PSD User data fields

    • 0 Comments
    PSD User data fields would be super useful, sometimes I would like to have a field/column labelled "Trigger" that would tell an operator where a trigger is coming from - OSC, MIDI, GO on Eos, analog input... Other fields could be labelled "Busk", as...
  • Save As Shortcut

    • 0 Comments
    Proposing an addition to the CIA's File menu. Below the " Save (D:\*file path*) " adding a " Save As (D:\*file path*) " targeting the folder the showfile is currently saved to. This would ease the process of saving iterations of your file without...
  • Allow FX values to be recorded into Palettes

    • 0 Comments
    Right now this is only possible with a workaround, having the FX stopped and with its exit being a stop and hold and stopping the effect. But this has issues in and of itself, and we should be able to just record the "pink" or light yellow value (from...
  • Pixel map variable response time

    • 1 Comment
    I would like pixel maps to have a variable response time. Problem: the pixels now respond directly to the content, resulting in pixels snapping on and off giving an extremely busy image, especially with lower resolution pixel maps and more graphical...
  • Individual cue list realise times

    • 1 Comment
    being able to give deprecate cue list different release times will really help with busy shows where other cue lists (containing bumps etc) are fired from one main list. I know this can be achieved with macros but it would be nice to have this as an option...
  • Keyboard Shortcuts for Controls

    • Coming Soon on
    • 1 Comment
    It would be great if we could get keyboard shortcuts for all of the controls. Constantly having to jump back and forth through the control menu just to change one thing is kind of tedious.
  • Flexi Moves

    • 0 Comments
    Similar to Flexi Active but removes tracked channels. I use a macro right now to achieve this in “view channels” but a dedicated view would be great.
  • Record SACN Input

    • 0 Comments
    I Have been working in a building that uses various architectural control solution outputting over SACN, when we take control with higher priority data the lighting Snaps to the new value. It would be great if I could record the SACN and then use the...
  • Bug: Export Advanced Patch xx thru yy hasn't worked in years

    • 1 Comment
    Bug rather than feature request: If you try to export just a range of channels (export>CSV>advanced>patch xx thru yy) you still end up with the entire show's patch exported to the csv. This has been broken for years (4 or 5 at least).
  • Colour Selector in Magic Sheets

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, It would be awesome to have a colour selector module in magic sheets that can be dragged in. You can set which fixture groups are assigned to each row and which colour palettes on which collums. The colour palettes would match with the individual...
