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

  • Be able to print Magic Sheets with the background removed in the EOS Show File Printout

    • 1 Comment
    It would be really helpful as a designer to print my magic sheet out on paper and use that to set lights or in lighting documentation. I use the printout to hang, focus, and address fixtures and easily have something to tell me where in space a light...
  • Support Displaying Non Manual Level in Magic Sheets

  • CIA expand/collapse button

    Are there any extra buttons on Ion/Gio/Gio@5/Eos consoles (Time Template, I'm looking at you) that could be repurposed into a CIA expand/collapse button? I know you can use Displays, but that requires 2 presses, and sometimes you have to double-tap a...
  • Add "Field Angle" as an MVR option

    • 0 Comments
    When importing from an MVR file (specifically from Vectorworks) you are locked into Beam Angle as the field that aligns to the Augment3d Beam Angle. But in Vectorworks language, that should really be field angle. Would love the option to choose either...
  • Constants in absolute effects

    • 0 Comments
    Currently I can assign a variable as a timing for an absolute effect but if I do so I can no longer adjust the cycle time of the effect. I would like to propose the idea of a constant for timing that can be defined and is unchanged if I change the cycle...
