EOS 3.0 features

3.0 is currently scheduled for April/May of 2019.  Unlike previous releases, we cannot at this time provide any details - but information will start to be available 1Q.   There will be both a 2.8 and 2.9 prior to 3.0.   For those who are patiently (or sometimes not so) waiting for features long requested, may I just say something?  Eos had a tremendous uptake from the moment it was released.  The user base grew very quickly not only geographically, but by market segment.  This meant the "to do" list exploded almost from the moment we launched.    We are working as fast as possible to address requests.    Thank you for your consideration.

Is there a revised timline for release since there doesn't seem to be a lot of documented info around and April / May is well past.

Guess Not...

Guess Not...

The augment3d website says "release this winter"

Back in the spring it said "We will be putting Augment3d into public beta mid-summer 2019 and anticipate an early fall 2019 release."  Now it says:

"We're planning to put Augment3d into public beta this fall with a release this winter."

So I guess it will be available when it is ready...

That's a great line. I'm going to use it when my next Uni assignment is due...

Thing is, a uni assignment is something you've agreed to do (by choosing the course/module), with a pre-agreed deadline. This is a FREE upgrade, not something ETC have contractually agreed to complete to any deadline.

ETC are great at pushing out new updates and bug fixes regularly, even for consoles that were sold many years back. Do you want them to rush this one and send out a crap buggy version? No-one NEEDS this update, all of our consoles work as well (if not better) than the day we agreed to buy them, this is a FREE upgrade offering a load of new features for no outlay (unless you're on a XP console, at which point you've probably had your money's worth of free upgrades anyway, and have twice the console you initially bought).

Have some patience.

Yes. This is the good part with ETC. They take their time and try to release as god software they can. The big thing with 3.0 is the new fetures and I, just like all of you are looking forward to it, but 2.9 isn't broken and will do great shows. 3.0 is't there to fix show braking problems, it's there for A3D and some other new stuff. And we do not want it if it isn't working as intended.

Another major console developer will not have MIB and Record Cue only in there newest software at first release because of lack of time for programming before release. Leaving that to a later update. I'm happy ETC do not cut corners to release V3.0 and let it take the time it needs.
