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

  • At Boot NPs Should Go To Home Position

    • 0 Comments
    At boot the console sends all NPs to library default, instead of the home preset. You have to sneak enter with no manual data to get them to be in the correct position, they should automatically be here when the console launches. If I wanted the profile...
  • OSC Fader Improvments

    • 0 Comments
    It would helpful also to get some configuration data from the Faders, e.g. labels of the "Fire" and "Stop" button and also the "Fader Type" like Master, Effect Size, Effect Rate ... Maybe something like: /eos/out/fader/<index>/<fader index>/config which...
  • Fade Area at the edge of Zones in Augment3d

    • 2 Comments
    A 'fade out area' for Augment3d-Zones would be great. You could set it to a specific distance, so a beam that touches the zone fades from it's current intensity to zero as it moves further into the zone.
  • mark whenever i want despite automark

    • 0 Comments
    as title says from my experience, that's one of the weakpoints in eos. Automark is efficient to not lose time, but this shouldn't forbid to sometimes get the mark somewher else, as soon as possible or whenever i want. Why does it have to be OR automark...
  • Keyboard Shortcut for [Fader]

    • 0 Comments
    There does not appear to be a keyboard shortcut for the [Fader] hardkey, I don't see a subscript on the Virtual Keyboard and there isn't one listed in the manual Thank you, Steven
  • Live Moves Flags - (ignore colour live moves)

    • 0 Comments
    I feel as if Live Colour Moves are rather ubiquitous at this point in time while live Focus & Beam moves are sometimes an obvious red flag in your show file. There should be a way to "ignore" live colour moves and/or highlight Focus & Beam moves. I...

    Maybe it is possible give some tools for arrange pixel in pixelmapping in circles?
  • Reference based Groups for Effects

    • 7 Comments
    You can use Groups to define Channels for Effects but this applies them absolutely as channel numbers so if you update a group, the effect will not update to use the new grouping... It'll continue to use Chan 1>10 if you change Group 1 to 1>5...
  • Circuits in fader

    • 4 Comments
    hello, would it be possible to make it so that we can assign a channel to a fader, and that the fader follows the level of the channel during the restitution? it would be super useful to use the motorized faders thanks a lot
  • Nomad - Typing commands does not bring all windows of EOS up front.

    • 0 Comments
    I'm sitting here at my desk merging a show file into our house rep file and getting frustrated. Every time I punch in a fixture in the patch, both screens of EOS pop up on my dual monitors. and the lightwright document I'm referencing gets pushed to the...
