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

    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...

  • Enable Grandmaster functionality to the large faders on the Ion XE

    • 0 Comments
    I almost never use multiple cue lists in my small theater and I'd wager I'm not the only one. Being able to map the large faders as GMs rather than sacrificing on of my on board faders would be great,
  • Auto-populate Virtual Hue/Sat parameters on Fixtures with 1931 CIE x y Profiles

    There were a ton of feature requests to connect a fixture's native x y values to the color picker over the past few years and I'm so happy that finally happened within the past year or so (I think v3.0 and up?). However, I believe the color engine's capabilities...
