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

  • Macroable Format / Hold Format Button

    • 5 Comments
    From what I can tell, there is no current way to use macros to set the live/blind channel display format to a known state, without using snapshots or other trickery. There is a "/eos/key/spreadsheet" command listed in the manual, but it seems to error...
  • channel-level go to cue

    • 1 Comment
    I often need to make a change in blind (or a bunch of changes in a range of cues) but we'll also be running long cues or multipart cues or have some other reason we can't do a global go-to-cue. That reason could be we're flying through cues and making...
  • Macro Color Chips - Add Blue as a Color option for the color swatch

    • 0 Comments
    Sending this in based on some tradeshow feedback. While this would only work for Apex due to the oLED, it could also showup correctly in the Direct Selects on a screen for non-apex console. This could either ripple across all of the Eos software, or just...
  • Pan / Tilt unlimited in A3D

    • 0 Comments
    Hey there, "never ask, never get"... in Augment3d there seems to be no way to show a fixture rotating unlimited. I would like to have such functionality. For more information about my specific issue, have a look at this post: https://community.etcconnect...
  • Fader Config Advanced Merge

    • 0 Comments
    When merging Fader Config, there should be an option in Advanced settings to merge individual faders or fader pages. Example, merge only faders 30/1 thru 38/10
  • Master Lock OSC Disable.

    • 0 Comments
    When a master is locked OSC should show as not enabled or with an asterisk in tab 2. Or! even better, enable and disable OSC when master is locked as a setting!
  • Submaster property that will ignore [StopEffect]

    • 0 Comments
    As a (frightfully common) example, haze is run from a submaster with an effect. I'll put the sub up and forget about it and off we'll go cueing. Hours later we'll get to the cue with the simple request "and here all the effects will stop." Easy enough;...
  • Store Channel and Parameter Times in Submasters

    • 2 Comments
    Submasters should be able to contain timing information, that is played back realtive to the submasters intensity. Exypanding this idea, palettes and presets could hold timing information as well.
  • 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
