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

    Hi, It would be awesome to have a colour selector module in magic sheets that can be dragged in. You can set which fixture groups are assigned to each row and which colour palettes on which collums. The colour palettes would match with the individual...
  • 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...
  • Individual cue list realise times

    • 1 Comment
    being able to give deprecate cue list different release times will really help with busy shows where other cue lists (containing bumps etc) are fired from one main list. I know this can be achieved with macros but it would be nice to have this as an option...
  • Keyboard Shortcuts for Controls

    • Coming Soon on
    • 1 Comment
    It would be great if we could get keyboard shortcuts for all of the controls. Constantly having to jump back and forth through the control menu just to change one thing is kind of tedious.
  • Show Home-Preset values of SEM in Augmented in Blind

    • 0 Comments
    I for example have two lighting hoists, that are usually in the home position. For cues to be displayed correctly in blind, I still have to store the home values of the SEM into the cues.
  • Pixel map variable response time

    • 1 Comment
    I would like pixel maps to have a variable response time. Problem: the pixels now respond directly to the content, resulting in pixels snapping on and off giving an extremely busy image, especially with lower resolution pixel maps and more graphical...
  • Flexi Moves

    Similar to Flexi Active but removes tracked channels. I use a macro right now to achieve this in “view channels” but a dedicated view would be great.
  • Record SACN Input

  • Shift + Palettes or Subs or effects Button to toggle a quick list without going to blind

    • 3 Comments
    Often I find myself recording a new sub or effect or color palette in a crowded showfile and having to double tap sub or effect or color palette to find an empty spot and then go through the pain of going back and forth between blind and live. Can we...
