3.2.5 October 25, 2023

Purpose :

  • Eos v3.2.5 focuses on critical fixes and integrates firmware for some Apex modules. ETC recommends users upgrade when production schedules allow to receive the latest bug fixes and improvements.

Key Enhancements:

  • [Shift] & [Stop/Back] could put Primary and Client devices in different active cues ‐
    • Workaround: a [GoToCue] [##] [Enter] will re-sync all devices 
  • Network storage directories produced errors when executing a save 
  • [Go] and [Stop/Back] presses on Apex main fader pair can be missed while backlights are fading ‐
    • Fix: update the Apex Main Playback module to v1.1.3.1 firmware from the Shell
    • Workaround: ensure Apex is awake (not dimmed) before executing [Go] or [Stop/Back] commands. [Shift] or [Clear] are safe ways to wake up the console. 
  • Recalling a Snapshot with Blind Spreadsheet view was not switching format to Spreadsheet 
  • New From Template now preserves the Park buffer through the file load 
  • CMY color changes were not causing a Live Move 
  • ETCnomad devices could accumulate false instances of wifi adapters

3.2.4 September 20, 2023

Purpose :

  • Eos v3.2.4 is a patch build with close to a hundred bug fixes and improvements, including basic fixture import in General Device Type Format (GDTF).
  • General Device Type Format (GDTF) Import
    • GDTF fixtures can be imported from the Eos file browswer via File > Import > GDTF Fixtures. Once imported, they can be patched and used in your show file similar to any other custom or usergenerated fixture profile. GDTF fixture imports do not include 3D models for use with Augment3d. Note: Parameter types and DMX ranges may need to be edited after import. Some imports may dynamically create parameters in the fixture profile as needed. See the following ETC support article for additional information on importing GDTF fixtures: support.etcconnect.com/ETC/Consoles/Eos_Family/Software_and_Programming/GDTF

Key Enhancements:

  • Basic fixture import via General Device Type Format (GDTF).
  • Fixture editor improvements and bug fixes.
  • Show control list bug fixes.
  • Magic sheet bug fixes.
  • Shell popup dialog improvements.
  • Apex display reliability improvements.
  • Fixed: ‐
    • Pixel maps could use additional emitters when at source points of the gamut.
    • Disabling WiFi in macOS could cause Eos to hang or not launch.
    • Partitions with thousands of channels could make the partition display sluggish.

Bundled Components:

  • Eos v3.2.4 Build 58
  • Augment3d v1.3.3 Build 2

3.2.3 July 13, 2023

Purpose :

  • Eos v3.2.3 focuses on critical fixes and optimizations for playback, synchronization in multiconsole systems, and other improvements. ETC recommends that users who have upgraded to v3.2.x move to v3.2.3 as soon as they are able, and users moving from v3.1.5 or earlier upgrade directly to v3.2.3.

Key Enhancements:

  • Playback, multiconsole, and synchronization bug fixes & improvements:
    • Changing any Setup option could cause some address levels to snap to 0 and then back again.
    • Extremely long file transfer times could be experienced on multiconsole systems.
    • Undo could experience significant slowdowns. ‐ When the PSD is visible, it could slow down the fade engine refresh rate on very large shows. ‐ Channel Filters with a very large number of channels could cause low sACN refresh rate.
    • Effects playback, out-of-sequence, and data management optimizations. ‐ General cue-firing performance improvements. •
  • General improvements: ‐
    • In Patch > Universe Preview, the default view is now Port/Offset, and the controls have been moved into the UI.
    • In previous versions, setting the per-channel shutter order in Patch > Attributes altered the shutters in the Augment3d model separately from the fixture profile. This has been fixed. A reminder that adjusting Augment3d shutters to match reality is done in the fixture profile editor. See this ETC support article: The Complete Guide to Shutters in Augment3d.
    • Trackball use has been improved.
    • Console sounds on Mac have been fixed.
    • Over 100 bug fixes and improvements.

Eos v2.9.0 is released for Windows 7 and XP-based hardware. As the final feature release for XP, there will be other releases forthcoming for 2.9 (even after 3.0 is released) to support new network hardware as needed, but these are not anticipated to include new features, or modifications to existing ones. As such, 2.9 is largely a clean-up release, addressing a number of anomalies across the application software. Please note that we will continue to make fixture library patches available for 2.9.

Eos v2.9.0 is incompatible with Mac OS Catalina 10.15. An Eos v2.9.1 will be released with Catalina support.
