MPEG Levels Diagram
MPEG profiles are a particular implementation or set of required protocols and actions that enables the providing of features and services for particular MPEG applications. These applications range from providing standard television services over a broadcast system to providing video services on a mobile wireless network. The use of profiles allows an MPEG device or service to only use or include the necessary capabilities (such as codec types) that are required to deliver media to the applications.

Because the types of applications that use MPEG transmission can dramatically vary, MPEG has tens of profiles. Some of the more common profiles include the simple profile, main profile, scalable profile and high profile. MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 have different sets of profiles.
