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

  • Integrated PTZ Camera (physical) control and programming with Eos and Augment3d

    This observaton/discussion could have found its way into a different forum but the implications are wide enough that I thought it belonged here. We are a performing arts academy with a black box theater shifting into multi-camera capture and live streaming...
  • CIA Color Picker Customization, Feature Request

    • 0 Comments
    Being able to default the CIA to have the Color Picker instead of the Browser is great, but currently you are stuck with the default CIE xy and Gel Picker. It would be great to be able to choose what is displayed there, for example having the Spectrum...
  • Preview Previous/Pending

    • 0 Comments
    Would it be possible to add a third option to Preview? One that displays both the previous and pending value perhaps in the format 'Previous/Pending'?
  • Paired Encoders and Fan Encoders

    Paired Encoders: The ability to have a pair of shutters on an encoder together in a custom map, in the world of desks with 14 encoders losing 2 to having A and C, and B and D paired at your fingertips would be great! And maybe in the CDS editor have...
  • Can Highlight Rem Dim support more than just intens

    • 0 Comments
    Currently the highlight rem dim level / preset only affects intens. It would be great if it can also affect other params, like the lowlight preset can. If I'm highlighting one fixture, I would like every other fixture to go dim and blue, not just dim...
  • "Out" should be Always Absolute

    • 2 Comments
    I do a lot of work with Intensity Palettes, and sometimes I accidentally overwrite the data. If the Out command were Always Absolute, it might help prevent that. If I wanted to keep the palette reference, I could use "@ 00" instead.
  • Gobo/Cuts in Conventional Fixtures

    • Under Review on
    • 5 Comments
    Could we add gobo and adjust cuts of conventional in the "Augment3D" "edit" mode instead of inside "Patch"? Or we could have it in both tab? Also a search function for Gobo will be nice! Thanks!
  • Conditional Copy show data when fixture is in specified preset

    • 0 Comments
    When copying data from one fixture type to another (specifically going from a moving light to a static), I would love a way to copy show data from fixture ONLY when it is in a specified preset. For example, if I have this cue list: I now want...
  • Data latched for specific displays

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great to be able to latch data on a specific channel view or magic sheet. I don't think this is currently possible.
  • Magic Sheet Duplicate Array Preview

    Hello, I think that duplicate array would be more useful if there was a preview of your array as you were editing it. Thank you!
