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

  • Save colors in ProPhoto colorspace in color palettes

    • 2 Comments
    I would like to see the colors saved as an x, y coordinate in the ProPhote Colorspace when stored to Color Palettes. This could be as a new way (like ByType) of storing (Universal colorsystem for instance). This way it is easier to exchange fixtures in...

  • Always display DMX Grid in Patch>Patch

    I often want to look at DMX usage per universe before making a choice about patch actions. Since the space is otherwise just a blank screen, it would be nice if the DMX grid is always be displayed and navigable in Patch>Patch even when no channel is selected...

  • Rename Effect "Trail" to "Distance"

    • 0 Comments
    Without reading the manual (and even when you do) the word "Trail" in the context of Eos effects is very easy to misunderstand. Almost everybody seems to understand this word as the trailing (comet effect) of an effect. "Trail" does however control how...
