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

  • Musical Instrument icon pack

    • 0 Comments
    I like the idea of the icons, but without musical instruments, the concept is kind of pointless. You see here, my Focus Palettes have downloaded musical icons from this website . (mostly) but black on forest green does not translate. I can't change the...
  • Hide encoder bar on Nomad and Ion

    • Planned for Future on
    • 2 Comments
    Please hide, or give us the option to hide, the encoder bar on Ion and Nomad (without programming wing). On the Ion it is unnecessary because it has the encoders displayed on the built-in LCD. On Nomad it is unnecessary because there are no encoders....
  • Use native OS file explorer

    I find the file explorer built into EOS to be a bit clunky and to lack the view and sorting features of the native Mac or windows file explorer. Can we have the option to use the built in explorer instead? Thanks!
  • In a3d Patch: Select "Gobo rotation" should bring up Virtual encoder.

    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

  • Magic Sheets: Reference Data Displays Associated Icon

    • 0 Comments
    With magic sheets having more finite control of target types available, it would be cool to also be able to link an icon to those targets: two use cases come to mind. More and more, we're giving follow spot operators a heads-up display of some kind...
  • User Setting - Disable SC Learn by Default

    • 1 Comment
    Probably for User Settings, but possible for System Settings: The ability to set the default behavior for Macro SC Learn to be either disabled or enabled by default. Unless I'm overlooking something, it always default to SC Learn Enabled. And while...
  • Pixelmaps

    Missing snakewise as option to address pixels. Many of my led matrixes are manufactuered in a snakewise pattern. But this option is missing in the configuration options for pixelmaps.
  • Do Not Show Flash in Command History

    • 0 Comments
    Flash On Flash Off is not a useful thing to post to the command history. Certainly not every time I flash the same channel. It scrolls the actually useful information out of sight. I don't want to see it at all, but if we must, just show it once or "Flash...
  • 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...
