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

  • Secondary [Shift] + [+%] and [Shift] + [-%] value

    • 1 Comment
    When utilizing [+%] and [-%], having a second customizable value can be helpful for finer control. For instance: [ +% ] = +10% intensity. (customizable) [ -% ] = -10% intensity. [ Shift ] + [ +% ] = +3% intensity (customizable) [ Shift ] + [ -% ]...

  • Eos Augment3d integration with Foundation Consoles

    Allow Foundation rigging consoles to send their heights through PSN or OSC to Eos consoles and change heights within Augment3d Models. Allowing this would enable Pipes to move in Augment3d as they move on-stage. For shows with many moving line sets this...

  • Scenes - Direct Select for Magic Sheets

    • 0 Comments
    Scenes is the only Direct Select that doesn't have a Magic Sheet element. It's great to be able to select and update scenes from a DS Bank, but it can soemtimes be difficult to locate the one you want quickly, especially if you have a lot of them.....
  • Unleash The LED Pixels!

    • 1 Comment
    With the exception of Apex and the 24k Ion, Most consoles have a low output limit when considering pixels. For example, the ION my local theatre just purchased has a 2048 output limit and my Nomad dongle unlocked has a 6144 output limit. Thus a limit...
