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

  • Gobo Flip

    • 2 Comments
    I was going through the Hamilton project workbook with 3.0 and I realized there's no way to flip a gobo in augmented. I can rotate it as many degrees as a want but I can't flip the image over. Obviously could do a work around with another program, but...

    I'm getting a little confused between scale and size, as the changing of one affects the other. All the other attributes in the inspector panel have tooltips, apart from these two. It would be really helpful. Thanks!

    A piece of software designed by ETC for documenting the lighting system that is integrated into the ETC suite of software that can pull information from ETC Concert, ETC Eos, all the architectural control systems, instead of needing additional third party...
  • Implementation of Concert and Arc system software into EOS

    • 1 Comment
    I know it would probably be hard to do but I think something that would be really cool and convenient for designers would be an implementation of the existing concert software into EOS so you wouldn't have to download and switch between two different...
  • Multiple Augmented Sets

    • 0 Comments
    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...

    Hello, I control the intensity of my automated fixtures using inhibitive subs with intensity info coming from a cue stack. This is useful for me while busking specifically to be able to black out while manually running intensity effects. Using an additive...

    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...
  • Gobo selection tool - stay or open in selected catalogue/section after picking gobo or when editing a unit that already has a gobo assigned

    • Planned for Future on
    • 3 Comments
    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...
