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...

    As of right now, Eos only offers a "MIDI TC Toggle" control for macros, making it difficult to be sure whether you are enabling or disabling it in a semi-automated environment. Adding definitive "MIDI TC On" and "MIDI TC Off" options would simplify this...

    Now that the roll out of NDI has been halted. Support for more generic streaming protocols like RTSP, RTP, RTCP and RTMP would allow us the same general usability. These protocols are already used in almost all security cameras, allowing EOS users more...

    I've had a few projects now, where I would like the pixel map to only affect the intensity, so I can use colour palettes to mix the colour- the reason being, that for fixtures that have more colour parameters then RGBW, I can't achieve the same depth...
