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

  • Settings request: number pad factor of 10x or not

    Hi! I'm sure that this has been mentioned before, but for those of us who work in film and television and are regularly using extremely high-powered LED fixtures close to the action, being able to hit [channel 1] + [at] + [3] + [enter] and having the...
  • iRFR Focus Wand w/A3d Disabled

    iRFR devices that cannot access Focus Wand because A3d is disabled on the connected Eos device should say so, instead of just hiding Focus Wand. Thanks, Scott
  • 3d Model Library For ETC HES Products

    • 0 Comments
    Hi Everyone, I don't know if this already exists or not but I am wondering if there is an online library for ETC and HES 3d fixture models to import into vectorworks and such? If not then that would be amazing to have. I know there are the profiles...
  • Virtual Crossfade Parameter

    • 0 Comments
    When working with hybrid/tunable white fixtures, it can be preferable to control the color with Intensity + Crossfade channel instead of Intensity + Warm + Cool. Often, the controller does not have a control mode to do this. A virtual crossfade would...
  • Integrated PTZ Camera (physical) control and programming with Eos and Augment3d

    • 7 Comments
    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...
  • Preserve native should move to Attributes tab

    when working quickly with encoders, i'm running into this behavior that blocks my workflow. i'm turning an encoder and because i know that the next parameter i want to control is on the same encoder on the next page, i leave my finger on the encoder...
  • Paired Encoders and Fan Encoders

    • 0 Comments
    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...
