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

  • Solo should override manual values

    Hi, solo seems to work only on recorded values. If I press solo with manual values, they stay on stage
  • 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...
  • Augmented Tab Options - Create Pixel Map from...

    • 1 Comment
    Probably on the list already but would be nice if the "create pixelmap from Magic Sheet" and "create magic sheet from pixelmap" were located on Tab 3/9 respectively... Super powerful tool though! They're going to save me hours of pixelmap layouts...
  • Colored grouped cues inside PSD like Qlab does

    • 0 Comments
    Working in a multi user environment, being the house light designer, I wish it could be possible to group x number of cues inside a colored frame so that everyone can understand blocs of cues working together. I find that scenes attributes are not visual...
  • Magic sheet color selection

    • 2 Comments
    Make it easier to change colors in the magic sheet. Two suggestions: Change the top row of color selection to be "white," "blacK" and the last six colors I chose manually. Use the ML color picker to choose a color (including the swatch books, so...
  • Cue Instancing

    • 1 Comment
    Ability to make an 'instance' of a cue, to set and update multiple cues based off the instance at once. Would be useful for blackout cues - if a light is updated to turn on backstage, updating one cue and having Eos handle updating the rest would save...
  • Advanced Extinguish mode

    • 0 Comments
    Hey, Extinguish mode has proved very useful since its introduction but I wonder if it's function could be expanded a little. First off, It would be great if it didn't grey out the master playback OLED's on an Apex, these aren't bright anyway, but would...
  • Updating parts

    • 0 Comments
    The syntax like "Update part 2 through cue 178" gives an error. Currently it seems like such a cue update requires two steps, update through cue 178, then in blind putting those lights into part 2 in the current cue. Would be awesome to specify a part...
  • Hi-light Effects tiles in Direct Selects

    • 0 Comments
    It would be useful for Effect Tiles in Direct Selects to be hi-lighted for appropriate selection sets rather like other palettes selections work at present.

    Could the /eos/out/active/wheel output string include names of frames? Something like: /eos/out/active/wheel/15, Gobo Select [2], 4(i), 2.000(f), higgs(s)
