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

  • @Level as Intensity Palettes

    • 4 Comments
    It would be nice to have something similar to sACN view but just for console DMX output that could also be used offline to check levels. This would be especially useful when troubleshooting lamp controls, etc... when you don't have a fixture to test or...

    PSD should not scroll down past the last cue. I.E. if I have 5 cues recorded, and there is space to view all 5 cues, when I run the cues, all should be visible. Cue 1 should not disappear off the top of the frame as soon as I hit Cue 3. I work in TV and...

  • Control EOS with midi controller like Cobalt does

    • 3 Comments
    Why nomad users need to use a third party software to control EOS with midi controler? Let us use midi to control faders, macros and desk keys with control changes and midi notes.
  • Highlight Timing

    • 3 Comments
    It would be great if there was an additional manual timing setting for "Highlight Time". Highlighting is one of the most jarring things we do on stage during technical rehearsals, and it would be great if we could fade into the highlight state instead...
