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

    All too often it can be cumbersome to find what preset or palette is in the background of an effect. Often the effect label in the tombstone or table will truncate or completely obscure what's underneath it (for example, it'll only be able to say "Stop...

    It would be nice to have a Magic Sheet Object that is an Sensor Rack and ETC Node. Much like the Foundation Motor. Rack Object to show Voltage/Temp. Node Object to show "Online/Offline" Thanks

    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...

    There are so many devices these days that are used on the lighting network that have web config and status pages. Having a tab on the console would be so much quicker than opening my laptop, changing IP settings, and navigating to the device. Having a...

    Often I'm looking over screens/monitors towards the stage while working and not necessarily at the keyboard- however I do have to move my head down and up to glance at the command line at the bottom of the screen. It'd be cool if on a screen-by-screen...

    Hello I find pixelmaps are sometimes awkward to get the full image, as I don't know exactly which bit of it I'm looking at. If in pixel map preview I had an option to see the whole image with a frame showing the current area being presented it would...

    Whether you have a dedicated grandmaster or you have one assigned to a sub it would be nice to have a behavior that allows the blackout key to be in a "flash" or "manual" state where you only blackout while the key is held down instead of being a toggle...

    Will there be an option to set a password for each user in the future, that will be asked for when changing to the user, unlocking and booting the console?

    Would it be possible to get a tool that creates a focus point (if selected) after manually focusing 1 fixture to a specific area and then adding the rest automatically? (for example a chair center DS or a specific set piece). a small indicator like the...

    I cant remember if I have requested this one before, I know I have mentioned it in the closed beta. I had a show where Augment3d did not match the real world unit. If the real world unit was correct, augment3d was wrong. This has happened more than...
