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

    • 1 Comment
    Hi, When zooming out in A3d could the "Label size" stay the same and not increase. At the moment the "Fixture Labels" are unreadable and unusable in a large scale rig as they overlap when you zoom out. Also the "White box" around the Label feels unnecessary...

  • Use camera as Color reference

    • 1 Comment
    Spending a lot of time to get my colorpalettes accurate thru different fixtures, I was thinking there should be a way to automate that process. The color estimation of eos (for “unknown” fixtures) is not bad but far away from perfect. That is because...

    Hi all, I recently tried using the build parameter with an absolute effect but it didn’t work. The intention was to get lights in a softbox to turn on in groups of a couple random lights at a time and then stay on. I turned on cascade entry and stop...

  • Patch Gel Attribute Should Accept Gel Manufacturer Abbreviations

    • 0 Comments
    In patch when you select a channel > database > gel, you should be able to type 5/# 3/# etc for Rosco, Lee, etc. Right now you have to use alpha R# L# etc, which means pulling out the keyboard and wasting time. This should be unified to operate how gel...
