Any custom content you create needs to be converted to a format that maps to the SHOWPIX 
127-LED or a StudioPix 61-LED pixel array. 

Echo will convert up to 256 frames of content and saves a preview displaying all 256 frames.

Although .mov or animated .gif files are the most common formats to use as custom content, 
Echo software can accept a wide variety of formats. 

For more information on preparing content for Echo conversion and a Flash template for content 
creation, go to the SHOWPIX or StudioPix support page at 

. 

Every User Content file needs to be contained within a folder that is part of a package. To create 
a new package:

1. Right click on User Content in the navigation pane or in the contents pane when User 

Content is displayed and selecting New [SHOWPIX or StudioPix] Package.
