Cisco Cisco MXE 3500 (Media Experience Engine)

Cisco MXE 3500 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, and so on. See the “Standard Cisco MXE 3500 Job 
Profiles” section in the 

 to learn more 

about the preconfigured Job Profiles.

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. 

The Live Capture feature using Capture Card hardware is not supported; related settings are 
nonfunctional (CSCsr96178).

Tape jobs are not supported.

Forensic Watermarking and Fingerprint features are not supported; therefore, related settings are 
nonfunctional.

Configuration of Quicktime encoder setting is done through a direct access to the device, not through 
the Web UI. See the User and Admin Guide for Cisco Media Experience Engine 3500 for more 
information.

The User Administration and Profile Spaces features are not available with Cisco MXE 3500 
standalone deployment. The User Administration feature is available only with a Resource Manager 
deployment. See also the 

The maximum supported resolution of input stream is 1080i, and only MPEG-2 encoding is supported 
for input payload. The maximum resolution of output stream is 720p.

We recommend that you configure an IP Capture job to use the Immediate mode. Otherwise, as the 
IP Capture job progresses, an intermediate file that continuously grows is created, filling up the disk 
storage and affecting the operation of the device.

Take care when archiving the output of an IP Capture job on the local disk storage of the device or 
on an external storage device. As the IP Capture job progresses, an archive file that continuously 
grows is created, filling up the disk storage and affecting the operation of the device or external 
storage device.

You can obtain an additional speaker-independent speech profile Cisco.com in the Video, Cable 
and Content Delivery > Cisco MXE 3500 

We recommended that the audio input is via a direct microphone /lapel microphone connection 
(LINE IN) to the camcorder/recording device. It is imperative that the video recording is carried out 
with quiet surroundings (low ambient noise). See 

 in the

 Deployment and Administration Guide for Cisco Media Experience Engine 3500
