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

  • Integrated PTZ Camera (physical) control and programming with Eos and Augment3d

    • 7 Comments
    This observaton/discussion could have found its way into a different forum but the implications are wide enough that I thought it belonged here. We are a performing arts academy with a black box theater shifting into multi-camera capture and live streaming...
  • Preserve native should move to Attributes tab

    • 3 Comments
    Preserve Native (in Patch) should move to the Attributes sub tab. Its setting is affecting only things in that tab, and none in the tab where it is currently in (Patch ->P atch sub tab)
  • Paired Encoders and Fan Encoders

    • 0 Comments
    Paired Encoders: The ability to have a pair of shutters on an encoder together in a custom map, in the world of desks with 14 encoders losing 2 to having A and C, and B and D paired at your fingertips would be great! And maybe in the CDS editor have...
  • Can Highlight Rem Dim support more than just intens

    • 0 Comments
    Currently the highlight rem dim level / preset only affects intens. It would be great if it can also affect other params, like the lowlight preset can. If I'm highlighting one fixture, I would like every other fixture to go dim and blue, not just dim...
  • Preview Previous/Pending

    Would it be possible to add a third option to Preview? One that displays both the previous and pending value perhaps in the format 'Previous/Pending'?
  • "Out" should be Always Absolute

    • 2 Comments
    I do a lot of work with Intensity Palettes, and sometimes I accidentally overwrite the data. If the Out command were Always Absolute, it might help prevent that. If I wanted to keep the palette reference, I could use "@ 00" instead.
  • Gobo/Cuts in Conventional Fixtures

    • Under Review on
    • 5 Comments
    Could we add gobo and adjust cuts of conventional in the "Augment3D" "edit" mode instead of inside "Patch"? Or we could have it in both tab? Also a search function for Gobo will be nice! Thanks!

    I didn't found it in here, but i am sure that i talked a lot about Flash Masters. So here is the request. I would look for a Flash Master in Tab36.
  • Tint Parameter in EOS Is Reversed — Request to Match Film and Manufacturer Standards

    • 0 Comments
    I’ve noticed an ongoing inconsistency in how EOS handles the “Tint” parameter compared to long-established film and lighting practices. In most film-style profiles using Color Temperature and Tint , EOS maps full DMX values to magenta and low values ...
  • Additional behaviours when parameter decoder is pressed.

    • 0 Comments
    Currently when an encoder is pressed and held, the soft keys MAX, MIN, HOME etc show up. Wondering if it would be useful for when an encoder is pressed, the home key homed that parameter, and +% and - % took it to max / min, and if next / last could...
