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

  • Saving effects modified by global fx into cues

    • 0 Comments
    Somehow in the ESD having an option to grab effects controlled by an effect master and pull them into cue data.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Proportional Change on +%/-%

    • 0 Comments
    I often find the changes I need to make to a channel's level are more related to its current level, than an absolute percentage change. I'd like to be able to set my +% button to /200 (double the channel's current value), and my -% button to /70.7 (sqrt...
  • OSC Integration

    • 6 Comments
    So, I just worked on a project with a large turning scenic element. The automation output OSC positioning which was then connected to BlackTrax, so that projections would auto-keystone, fade in and fade out based entirely on the OSC data. While a Channel...
  • Direct Selects Banks should not reset with every increase/decrease of the number of Banks

    • 3 Comments
    Currently when you increase or decrease the number of Banks of Direct Selects in a Tab, it changes the row/column count of all Banks to be the same to either 3x10 or 3x5. It does this regardless of whether your Banks of Direct Selects have all different...
  • In a3d Patch: Select "Gobo rotation" should bring up Virtual encoder.

    • Planned for Future on
    • 2 Comments
    Similar to Shutter rotation. Selecting "Orientation" could map to XYZ encoders. Or at least the Arrows for XYZ Orientation should have a "Long Press" for continuos movement. Thanks D
  • Support for RTSP, RTP and RTMP streaming protocols in place of NDI.

    • 0 Comments
    Now that the roll out of NDI has been halted. Support for more generic streaming protocols like RTSP, RTP, RTCP and RTMP would allow us the same general usability. These protocols are already used in almost all security cameras, allowing EOS users more...
