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

    In Eos Beta version 274 the spot and wash brightness and color are a bit off. I have S4 LED Lustr+ and D40 Vivids patched into Augment3d and when I turn them both up to FL the spotlight really overpowers the wash on the stage. Also the home colors on...

    Sometimes, you make some changes to an object in your favorite CAD program. It would be nice, if it was possible to replace an existing object with a newer version.

    It would be useful if there was an option in Tab 36 to link it to the fader wing & fader page you are using. So when you changed pages, the page you were on was at the top.

    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?

  • [Select Active] should select channels based on levels underneath effects, not where an effect currently has them

    It's a little frustrating when an effect is running on certain channels, and [select active] omits channels that an effect has set to zero at the moment that I push [select active]. This can lead to frustrating random collections of channels that I then...

  • Editing Effect Variable While Writing Command

    I would like if the variables of effects could be edited while writing the command to start the effect. This would allow programmers to code faster by not having to start the effect and then later go in and edit any variables even if they knew that those...

  • Respect Entry/Cue Time when adding channels to running effects

    When adding channels to a running effect in a subsequent cue (e.g., Cue 1: Ch 1-5; Cue 2: Ch 1-5 + 10-11), the effect for the entire channel set restarts instantly. This causes a visible snap in 0 seconds, ignoring the effect's entry time. New channels...

    It would be really amazing if there were different types of color palettes, for example a gradient type of color palette. Within that palette you could then store 2 or more different color palettes to create your gradient. This way if you update one of...
