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

    Working with some older SeaChanger XG fixtures, the fixture profile functions correctly in terms of DMX output and fixture control. However, Eos color calibration does not support CMY + Green, so in A3D the XG (extra green) filter is not quantified and...

    It's currently not possible to re-size a collapsed category column in Live Table. Example, I can re-size Pan and Tilt columns, but after Collapsing to the category summary with [Data]+{Focus} the column size is locked. Would love to be able to re...

    This would essentially be a Go/Back-Shortcut for the pending cue. Allowing us to quickly skip to a cue without having to type it in first. Sometimes you have to skip one or more cues quickly, but you still want the marks to happen for example.

    I've started using Custom Direct Selects a lot more, and I have found that when I want to change the layout, or move or delete something from the custom direct select, I have to go back into the custom direct select editor. This really slows down workflows...

    We use protected submasters to control our fixed circuits . This means that these channels from the submasters are always visible in the channel overview , even though we don't want to see them there . It would be great if we could simply hide the protected...

    Right now this is only possible with a workaround, having the FX stopped and with its exit being a stop and hold and stopping the effect. But this has issues in and of itself, and we should be able to just record the "pink" or light yellow value (from...
