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

    EOS’s current reading of colorimetric data from GDTF files is poor at best.

    Hi. I'm working in a Theatre with multiple venues, all on EOS consoles in "Cue Only" Tracking mode. All programmers, myself included, are interested in using "Update Track Intensity Cue Only" in a cue-only console environment. This could be a big timesaver...

    Hi, Augmented is not as useful as I hoped at answering the question: "what is the bright spot downstage left" particularly on large shows. 1) There should be an option for channel number labels to be displayed at the floor, rather than the middle...

  • Could the A3d import window let us map a user field to Edge so we can set that in VW?

    Because, at the moment, merging in A3d is an all or nothing affair in patch, I think many of us will be using the import method as opposed to importing in an existing Augemented rig. That means trying to get the VW export as detailed as possible, to leave...

    Focus pallets set by type to XYZ Scaled. these are then set in a relation to the FPE points. for example 4 points in a 10m box and a focuse position with light 1 in 8m/1m/1m and light 2 at -8m/1m/1m move the 4 points for the new venue and new size...

    It would be fantastic if when editing a magic sheet, you could click on a channel and at the bottom of the settings (next to interactive) there was a button to be able to toggle data to be all relative or all absolute. Useful to see where the zactrack...

    When using OSC Override in combination with SEMs, it is not possible to determine which channels are currently affected by the override. Query Override would solve this problem.

    It would be nice if I could cut and paste a light in a magic sheet and have the light keep its channel number, or at least give me an option to choose that. Currently it changes to a new number when pasting. This would be useful in the film world where...

    I cannot test the current behaviour in 3.0 but I'm currently working with an Ion Xe and a Gio @5 running on 2.8.2 where the Ion is the master, and is in a control area at the back of the gods while I've got the @5 in the stalls. It would be really handy...
