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

  • OSC support for getting a channels' parameter ( /eos/get/patch/// ?!)

    • 0 Comments
    When pulling data via OSC there is welcome support for high-level features like Augment3d or FPE, Palettes or Pixmaps - but none for the basic parameters of a channel. This it would be amazing to get: /eos/get/patch/<chan>/<part>/<parameter> ( Ofc one...
  • focus conventional with XYZ values and keep target memory for next venues

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, i wondered if this was thinkable, this would make them quite easy to focus and allow to focus them once in a tour, and to get augmented reasonably easily uo to date. This could be part of the patch tab, as it already gets orientation parametres?
  • 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...
  • Feature Request: Background Image Rotate

    • 0 Comments
    It would be super useful to add the ability to set a 2D rotation on images used as backgrounds in magic sheets. Currently, I have to edit a photo outside Eos in order to rotate it 90° etc. Having the option to do that the same way we can change scale...
  • VMS Update

    • 0 Comments
    The advancement of integrated graphics on the new Intel and AMD chips seems like a great opportunity to add some features to the VMS. I would love to see 3D pixel maps built within Eos in addition to complex shapes much like what Enttec ELM can do.

    Hi, I would like to able to store in the cues the size or rate of an effect while modifying them by a fader
  • CIA expand/collapse button

    • 1 Comment
    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...
  • Individual release / off time for cue lists

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, release time is global, you need to change it in setup, maybe an option to define it in command line or cue list's properties would be great.
  • 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...
  • 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...
