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

    Allow users to input the photometric data (X/Y, wavelength, width) for each diode on an LED light. This would allow for spectrum control with spectrum tools but also would create a gammut the light could operate within on the color picker. The end goal...

    Hello, I have found myself losing more and more time by struggling to get that perfect timing in AutoFollows. And after settling on that perfect 1.09 follow, I lost 5 minutes due to getting this time. I have looked for a solution, but sadly couldn...
  • Restore hyperlinks when printing to pdf

    • 0 Comments
    There used to be hyperlinks when printing to pdf, for example in the Utilization Report, which would take you directly to Presets, or Color Palettes. Now one has to scroll through to get to Presets. Could you please restore hyperlinks for those of us...
  • Patch - Multicell Fixture: Provide the same functionality that was included in v2.8 and v2.9 with regards to patching multi-cell channels using non multi-cell fixture types

    While 3.2 added a new search tool such as search by channel or cue label, this actually also works with Macro -- but for that to work you need Macro on the command line. There is no true way to get macro on the command line without a work around such...
