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

  • advanced features when changing fixture types - filling gaps in pallettes/presets/cues

    • 0 Comments
    If one is touring or a play comes to your venue but was built on another rigg it´s nice to just unpatch your original show, change fixture types to the ones that are actually used and patch them in. What happens at that point is that all your pallette...

    I've been working on a show for the last few weeks where i was using my iPad to be able to make edits from all over the auditorium. However I realized when I went to update a cue, there was no "Trace" button (and I didn't see one in the Softkeys either...
  • Store More Complex Data In Timecode Clocks

    Hello, Recording fader moves is a staple of time-coded light design and Eos can't record them. It's absolutely impossible in this software. The problem is that it's an event list. That the biggest problem. It needs to be a timeline with x and y, not...
