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

    Hello, It would be a huge help for Nomad users and Companion users to have Alert Timing sent over OSC. For productions that want the structure of a Time-code show but need the flexibility of manual cue control, Alert Timing is amazing. Adding the ability...

    Finally trying out FPE in the real world. It's a very large space so the margin of error is very high making it not a great test case and sending my lights all over the place. I know FPE is still very much a "in theory" process as it becomes refined....

    When creating a new fixture, I would love to have the ability to copy and paste the lamp controls from an existing fixture. This would be extremely helpful in trying out new modes in existing lights, or new lights in the same product line.

    This is a bit of an odd request perhaps, but it's implemented in at least one console I know of and I found it useful in a recent project so hacked it together using OSC but it would be good to be able to execute cues (or macros or presets I guess) based...
