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'm currently using the Robe Colorstrobes in a show and they're way to bright for the event, although when I turn them down the panel on the front of the fixture gets too dark. I don't want to change the global beam brightness as it is ok for the show...

    For film we could use the ability to have different augmented stages for each set we are on. This would help mitigate our build sizes as well as allow us to prep locations and other work. Right now throwing 50 movers and 500 lights into augmented is fairly...

    Currently (b315) when picking a gobo from a section such as Rosco > Steel gobos the gobo catalog resets to Ablelite . Likewise if I go into patch to change an existing gobo the Abellite catalogue is always shown. It would be better if the display showed...

    In this view it would be great if the white dot could be used to drag the center of the beam around, and if a long press anywhere on the model could be used to aim a unit that isn't currently visible from the camera position. tt2

    Add virtual keyboard and encoders to iRFR/aRFR tablet mode. The tablet could then replace the on-screen virtual keyboard in a Nomad layout allowing more room for other tabs or Augment3d to be run full screen. This would also be useful when using Nomad...
