Important Notes
Cisco.com Registration Website (Licenses)
If you use Cisco MXE 3000 to access the Cisco.com registration website and request a license, you 
must press Enter to submit the Product Authorization Key to the website instead of clicking the 
Submit button.
For Resource Manager deployments, you must use one MAC address to register the Resource 
Manager device; use the same Resource Manager MAC address to register each Resource Node; 
then, install the final license on the Resource Manager. See the Deployment and Administration 
Guide for Cisco Media Experience Engine 3000
 for details. 
Standalone and Resource Manager Deployments
Directories must be configured only as UNC paths to a network share for Cisco MXE 3000 Resource 
Manager deployments. Directory locations must be accessible to all Hosts. 
Directories can be configured as local paths or UNC paths for Cisco MXE 3000 standalone 
deployments. Directory locations must be accessible to all Hosts.
File Formats
A maximum of 8 audio tracks is supported with QuickTime format.
Re-wrapping is supported only for MPEG Encoder with an MPEG-PS input file.
Job Profiles
Cisco MXE 3000 ships with preconfigured Job Profiles. A Job Profile is a template that defines how 
jobs are processed, and it contains the settings that are required to process jobs from beginning to 
end. Job Profiles are optimized for different types of input media, encoding output, and distribution, 
and they align with modern distribution devices, such as iPod, iTunes, Joost, and so on. See the 
“Standard Cisco MXE 3000 Job Profiles” section in the User Guide for Cisco Media Experience 
Engine 3000
 to learn more about the preoconfigured Job Profiles.
Caution
We strongly recommend that you use the preconfigured Job Profiles and change settings only 
if you understand the consequences. Modifying preconfigured Job Profile settings or creating 
new Job Profiles with settings that media standards do not support can result in job processing 
failures or produce undesirable output. 
User Interface
The Live Capture feature is not supported; therefore, the Capture at setting that displays in the CLUI 
under Tools > Preferences > Audio Preferences is nonfunctional.
The Grid Computing feature is not supported; therefore, the Grid Segments setting that displays in 
the WebUI under Administer > System is nonfunctional.
Due to unexpected behavior of Quicktime software, opening the Video Settings dialog from the 
Quicktime Settings on a system running Quicktime 7.2 may result in a crash. As a workaround, 
complete the following steps:
1.
Open QuickTime preferences, and select the Advanced tab. 
2.
In Video Settings, select Safe mode (GDI only), and click OK. 
You can now open the QuickTime video settings dialog box from the QuickTime player.
