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

  • sACN input not only to submasters but also to faders

    Hey there, I'd like to map sACN to Faders. In our youth theatre ensemble we have got an old Element. It can't upgrade to EOS 3. But I'd like to use my nomad with Augment3d and all these new EOS 3.x features. Element has 40 faders I'd like to use. I...
  • Gadget 2 DMX Input

    I'm missing to use the second port of the Gadget as an DMX Input. This will give use the possibility to use small and cheap DMX fader wings for use as submasters.
  • Flip focus could update shutters and gobo/animation index when swapping from a positive to negative tilt or vice versa

    • 0 Comments
    In short the output beam relative to the stage could be preserved when using the focus flip tool to invert the current tilt. This would be useful when ensuring that a positive tilt is used in successive cues to avoid extreme focus movements. Parameter...

    I know this is something along the roadmap somewhere, but I haven't seen it listed in the new feature requests feed and figured it should be moved here as well. We'd love to see password or 4-digit pin-style protection ability for eos consoles. Regarding...
