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

    If I have a lot of fixtures, I may want to select 4th fixture, then every 4th+1 fixture. This is useful in instances where you are fanning an array or grid of fixtures and want to create interesting curvy looking beams using pan/tilt, but do not want...

    I'd like to reorder the banks I have in a Direct Select instead of replacing and recreating them. Changing the order is easy; recreating in a new bank is more cumbersome. Many programs have a way to change the ordering by moving up or down one position...

    I'd like to be able to configure a scene direct select to only display scenes in one cue list. Custom direct selects can be used to get here, of course, but it's a clunky solution for any situation outside of a locked in show.

    CIE 1931 is becoming a much more common way of communicating color on film sets. You're starting to see a lot of gaffers walking around with a color meter on their hip, and these days most new LED fixtures have a DMX profile with X,Y color mode. Eos...

    There needs to be a pan and tilt invert option for Augment3D only (the same way you can invert the pan/tilt visuals in moving light display) The issue I had this past week, is that I tried to add Augmented to the show after we already started writing...

    It would be nice to have a mode for bump buttons that ignores the timing of the bump button and snaps on and off when pressed and released. The reason I suggest this is to save space on my fader wing. Right now, I like to have even/odd bumps for busking...
