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

    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...

    Would it be possible to have a feature to index the Gobo wheel of movers to align reality and Augmented if the Gobos haven’t been loaded straight? Maybe use the Gobo rotate field in patch under augmented tab to populate a list for each wheel space to...

    When making a copy of an existing fixture or creating a new fixture in the fixture editor that fixture should be automatically selected in the editor. Current behavior is that the new/copied fixture is created but the currently selected fixture remains...

    As of right now, Eos only offers a "MIDI TC Toggle" control for macros, making it difficult to be sure whether you are enabling or disabling it in a semi-automated environment. Adding definitive "MIDI TC On" and "MIDI TC Off" options would simplify this...

  • You should be able to change the visibility of A3d query folders

    It's very useful, for instance, to gather, all the conventionals into a Query folder, or all the moving lights, or all of FOH, etc. I would love to be able to click that folder and turn all the objects inside of it visible or not visible by using the...

    Eos can detect open and close as shown by sub bump, it holds the bump down on contact close, and releases on contact open. I would like to be able to trigger Macro x on contact close, and Macro y on contact open.

  • A3d: Zoom to Selection + Beam

    Zoom to selection is only kinda somewhat useful: Most of the time I care more about what's coming out of the light than the fixture itself. A zoom to selection + beam (showing you both the fixture and the beam) would be much more useful. Mac, b...

    Working with some older SeaChanger XG fixtures, the fixture profile functions correctly in terms of DMX output and fixture control. However, Eos color calibration does not support CMY + Green, so in A3D the XG (extra green) filter is not quantified and...

  • Differentiate Targets with Trailing Zeros

    Group 0.1 should not be the same as group 0.10. If I'm using the 0.# system to record groups based on areas, the system breaks down when I have more than 9 areas, since area 1 and area 10 need to store into the same group. Just like in software, version...

    If the user put a piece of paper behind the shutter assembly of a leko at their desk and backlit the paper from where the lamp would go, perhaps a camera or webcam could be pointed at the 3" aperture of the shutter assembly and, with the contrast boosted...
