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

  • IRFR/ARFR Smart Watch Expansion

    I think it would be really helpful to have an apple watch (or other smart watch) extension of IRFR that displayed small bits of information for noting shows. My initial conception would be a Master Playback Status display with cue labels. Im sure there...

  • Encoder Mapping Swap (Top) and (Bottom)

    • 0 Comments
    I'm really excited about Encoder Mappings; I'm currently updating my base showfile with all the new features. Currently the encoders map (Left) to (Right), but expanding to show the dedicated encoders on the Eos shows that the (Left) most encoder will...
  • Allow mapping macros to unused "Time Template" face panel button

    • 0 Comments
    The "Time Template" button is currently completely unused and superfluous - if I could map a macro to it like the macro buttons above it on the face panel, that would be handy.
  • Absolute Groups

    • 0 Comments
    Whenever a channel is added to or moved in patch, it can affect Group selections. It would be a helpful convenience thing to be able to designate a group as a set range, no matter what happens in Patch. I usually use Groups as Cue List filters, so I...

  • Lock Cue List to Master Fader

    • 0 Comments
    So right now a cue list can be locked to a list, but it would be useful to be able to lock it to the Master Fader pair. Currently working on a show with lots of cue lists and would like for one of the cue lists to always be locked to the master fader...
  • Nomad - Typing commands does not bring all windows of EOS up front.

    • 0 Comments
    I'm sitting here at my desk merging a show file into our house rep file and getting frustrated. Every time I punch in a fixture in the patch, both screens of EOS pop up on my dual monitors. and the lightwright document I'm referencing gets pushed to the...
  • It would be nice for custom bookmarks to show some kind of visual indicator they have been customized

    • 0 Comments
    Right now, I believe there is no visual difference between the default bookmark icons and ones that you have set to be custom. I would like to see just some indication that for instance, if bookmarks 1 and 2 have been customized...the numbers or the outline...
