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

    Hey, would it be possible to Label Macros when on a button of a fader? Like shown fader 10 has macro 6 on a button and in macro config it is named. Would be easier because then you do not have to remember what macro 6 was. Thanks Lars

    Eos can detect open and close as shown by sub bump, it holds the bump down on contact close, and releases on contact open. I would like to be able to trigger Macro x on contact close, and Macro y on contact open.

    Only manufacturers can set default wheels for fixture profiles, this needs to be exposed to the user. Default wheels for the rep fixtures, making a profile from scratch, correcting a broken default profile all require exposing this to the user. The...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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
