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

    • Coming Soon on
    • 1 Comment
    Hello, would it be possible for you to add a generic blinder, just with an intensity that would have the same dim curve as a blinder, and would function the same? I tried adding one in but it just put in an LED.
  • OSC CIE XY color feedback

    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...

  • Gel picker RGB colors with 5600K base

    • 0 Comments
    It would be nice if there was the option to use the gel picker with gel colors over 5600k instead of just 3050k. In the film world we are often asked to show both options. Thanks Greg
  • XYZ Marking

    • 1 Comment
    When marking a moving light moving into an XYZ palette, it marks in XYZ space! I can’t think of a reason for it needing to do this? The reason I ask it because marking in XYZ space can cause noisy moves at unpredictable moments (specifically if the mover...
  • Parked channel indicator on magic sheets

    • 2 Comments
    For fixtures on magic sheets, it would be great to have a little P next to the channel icon (similar to how you get the P in tombstones) to indicate the channel is parked.

    I have a Group 1, which contains Channel 1>100. I go into Patch and type Chan 4 Move To Chan 5. Now Group 1 contains Chan 1>3 5>100. I understand why the console does this, but it would be nice to have some kind of group-by-group option to lock...

    I would like to have a record minus sub option where I don’t have to select the subs I’m excluding from record. I know I can hit (-)(sub)(x)(thru)(y)(record)(cue)(z)(enter) to record a cue without certain subs. Can we make a version where I don’t have...
