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

    I cannot think of many situations where you would want to change an effect value in blind. Normally, you have to see the effect on stage to tune it. So why is the effects tab a blind tab? It forces you to change between live and blind all the time.

    EOS 3.1 supports UDP packets which is fine for data that prioritizes speed over reliability. That works fine for data that will reliability resend again. However, for single "cue fire" type "one time events" it is more important that data reliability...

    I would like Focus palettes to store Zoom and Edge information in it. I would like to see this as an option in User settings. This would save me from having to use a macro for selective preset recording (and thus not using a hard key on the console...

    I occasionally type an extra digit by mistake when setting intensity levels. For example, the chief lighting technician tells me to turn on a light at 25% and I accidentally type [at] 255 [enter] and blind him because the light goes to 100%. I would like...
