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

  • 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?
  • About: Macro -- shows usage in show control and magic sheets

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great if [About] against a macro will show all usages -- magic sheets, show control, hard keys, Apex target keys, custom direct selects, etc., a good way to help clean up and find otherwise unused macros.
  • Keyboard Shortcut for [Fader]

    There does not appear to be a keyboard shortcut for the [Fader] hardkey, I don't see a subscript on the Virtual Keyboard and there isn't one listed in the manual Thank you, Steven
  • A3D Beam Edge Slider

    • 0 Comments
    The current system for adjustment of the beam edge of fixtures in A3D patch is kinda clunky and it would be great if instead of a field to enter the sharpness of the beam edge there was a slider so you could virtually run the barrel of fixtures

  • Disable Ctrl+Space Back with Alt+g

    • 0 Comments
    The Alt+G spacebar Go disable should also disable Ctrl+spacebar back. If you are doing something such as building a magic sheet and copy/pasting and it’s possible to accidentally hit Ctrl+space when wanting to Ctrl+C/V.
  • A3D Indication of Shutter Blades

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great in Augment3D to show which shutter is which. Perhaps this is a letter indication on the selected light, showing on a surface or at the focus level of the light? I think ideally it would be a setting like Sticks, and settable per user...
  • Macro on Fader Button

    • 1 Comment
    Hey, would it be possible to Label Macros when on a button of a fader? Like shown fader 10 has macro 6 on a button and in macro config it is named. Would be easier because then you do not have to remember what macro 6 was. Thanks Lars

  • Enable Text field for all magic sheet objects

    • 1 Comment
    It would be very useful to customize the display text on all magic sheet objects, independent of the target name or label. I primarily use labels to distinguish items within their target list, which can make the labels lengthy and unsuited for display...
