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

  • Highlight Timing

  • You should be able to get from Patch to A3d Control Mode without having to go through Live Ch Display tab

    I know this has been discussed...and relates to the years long discussion of hitting Live also bringing the Ch Display into focus and when that is not always what you want. Probably not such an issue in a situation with lots of monitors, but now that...

    When making edits to a fixture, it would be useful if in addition to the "save fixture" option there was a "save as fixture" option that would save a NEW fixture type. Right now, if you go to edit a fixture and you realize AFTER making edits that you...
