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

  • Filtered Utilization Reports

    • 0 Comments
    It would be super useful to create filtered utilization reports. They typical utilization report contains so much data; color palettes, focus palettes, presets, effects, ect. It would be great if one could print a utilization report of just presets, or...
  • Easier way to update parameter data toggles for Live Tables across all possible states in snapshots

    • 0 Comments
    This is one of the things that drives me crazy. If you add a new fixture type to the patch, and that new fixture type has parameters that are new to the show, those new parameters are not enabled in Live Table tabs. I have several snapshots with a Live...
  • Magic Sheet Scroller Indicate Track White Point selection in Color Picker

    • 0 Comments
    Please update the Magic Sheet scroller indicator to track the choice made in the White Point selection in Color Picker. It appears as if it currently only tracks the scroller color as "Gel+lamp Output" even if the other, "Gel against White Background...
  • Preset positions in Augment3d

    • 2 Comments
    I have an Augment3d model of each of the theaters that I work in but if I'm not using Vectorworks for the drawing, entering the position of the fixtures is annoying since I have to keep looking up the y position of each bar. Since almost every venue...

  • Apply Alert TIme as Follow Time

    • 0 Comments
    Since Alert Time finally made it's way from Cobalt to EOS, it would be great if a related feature would too: On Cobalt you can apply the recorded Alert Time as the Follow Time for the Cue. (Or multiple Cues at once). This would be handy on EOS as...
  • When holding "Fader Page" "Load Fader X" should jump to the according fader page.

    • 2 Comments
    The Problem: On the older Ion XE, Gio and EOS desks, the plastic buttons for paging faders (changing encoder categories etc...) are not that nice to use when having to jump between multiple fader pages in a pinch. It quickly happens that you accidentally...
  • OSC CIE XY color feedback

    • 0 Comments
    Currently, it is only possible to get hue/saturation color feedback from the console, but it would be very useful to also be able to subscribe to CIE XY feedback. This would allow for displaying feedback on OSC XY color palettes without needing to calculate...
  • Notify OSC clients on channel level changes

    • 0 Comments
    It would be really useful to have the ability to subscribe to feedback for channel level changes so channel views and faders can be updated as their values change.
