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.

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.
