Introduction to Job Profiles
The power of the Cisco MXE 3000 lies in its ability to automate the streaming media workflow and to reuse the video knowledge of others in the form of a saved set of tasks and instructions called Job Profiles.
Job Profiles are essentially templates that define how jobs are processed. Saved profiles can contain part or all of the settings required to process jobs from beginning to final distribution. Job Profiles can be optimized for different types of input media, encoding output, and distribution. Job Profiles can be stored in a location accessible to all users, or can be saved to individual locations.

Why Create a Job Profile?
A Job Profile is a template encapsulating all the operations that are applied to a media file, including preprocessing, encoding, distribution, and notification.
What Must Go in a Job Profile?
At a minimum a Job Profiles consists of a preprocessor and one encoder.
What Can Go in a Job Profile?
In addition, a Job Profile may contain the following:
•

•
Job Profile File Extension
Job Profiles and profile components both have an .awp extension.
Standard Cisco MXE 3000 Job Profiles
The Cisco MXE 3000 offers the following Job Profiles that come preinstalled. The new profiles are aligned with modern distribution devices, such as HiWire, iPod, iTunes, Joost, Windows Media and many more.
