ETC Announces Eos V3.3 Software

	The magic sheet feature has received a major redesign aimed at making it faster to create or edit.

ETC has released Eos V3.3, the latest free software update for its flagship Eos Family of entertainment controllers. New features include Expansion Processing, improvements to magic sheets, and additions throughout the system.

Expansion Processing allows productions to divide the workload of large rigs across multiple devices. It lets users scale output as needed, add temporary output to an existing system for a single show, or distribute processing loads across large spaces. The feature utilizes multi-console synchronization to keep the system moving in time, making it ideal, the company says, for commercial productions, film and studios, themed entertainment, museums, galleries, multi-venue facilities, and rental inventories.

The magic sheet feature has received a major redesign aimed at making it faster to create or edit. The new always-on toolbar and increment bar bring options to the surface. And a new right-click or press-and-hold popup context menu puts one's most-used tools directly next to one's work. Nearly every tool now has a keyboard shortcut associated with it, making it easier than ever to change between tasks.

Eos V3.3 also delivers a range of enhancements to existing tools, improving efficiency and control, the company says. Network requirements have been updated to simplify deployment and better support your control system. Faders have also been redesigned with updated graphics, customizable layouts, and multitouch support, providing more intuitive and responsive control. And the fixture editor now supports curvature adjustments for LED parameters, addressing the challenge of non-linear fades and improving color-matching accuracy with picker tools.

This update also introduces the Eos Fixture Wizard, which simplifies the process of building a new fixture profile. After taking users through a series of questions about the fixture profile to be created, the Fixture Wizard guides them through the steps to create an integrated and usable Eos profile. After finishing the Wizard, you are returned to the full fixture editor, allowing access to any adjustments or complex features the Wizard didn't ask about.
