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

  • Augment3d: Be able to change beam brightness of fixtures in patch or fixture profiles.

    • 1 Comment
    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...
  • Feature Request: Fully incorporate virtual & real CIE X CIE Y parameters into color picker

    • 6 Comments
    I have a large project coming up where the DPs insist on using their own XY system for everything, this puts me at a disadvantage as CIE X and CIE Y controls are not fully incorporated into the color picker and ML controls in EOS. I have seen other posts...
  • Colour Families/By-Family Palette

    • 0 Comments
    I often work with multiple lighting fixtures that all use the same colour mixing engine, or are calibrated to the same space. For example, all Color Force IIs use the same colour engine, all Mac Vipers and the Axiom use the same colour engine, and the...
  • USB DS device

    Would be fantastic to have a usb device like the hard-DS-buttons on apex. Or a native support for streamdeck on consoles to have DS with labels and icons on them.
  • Disable auto screen dimming

    It should be a user option whether or not the screens time out and dim.
  • Media Browser

    • 0 Comments
    With the more widespread use of Icons throughout EOS, it would be great to have a dedicated Media Browser Tab. I have found it really difficult to do things like delete old Icons and such as the location to do that is quite strange. A single tab that...
  • Direct selects for cues

    • 2 Comments
    For busking, I'd like to assign some things to cues, e,g, putting the colours for my wash lights on different cues in cue list 2. It would be great if I could summon a direct select bank to "show all the cues in cuelist 2", and a single tap on each...
  • More than 12 universes on Nomad, please.

    • 0 Comments
    Hello, please let the Nomad users upgrade the universe output higher than 12. I really enjoy the EOS environment while programming and the flexibility of my custom PC that has fast storage, oodles of processing power, a nice graphics card, etc.. The limitation...
  • Feature Request: Include Augment3d position/rotation data in Print>Patch (or add new option for Augment3d data)

    • 1 Comment
    Use case: I created a model of my venue in Augment3d using the current patch. We are planning to remount a show from a few years ago, later this year, and I'm planning to work out some programming issues in Augment3d in advance. I have the old show file...
