About MPX
6
FLIR MPX™ is a revolutionary video surveillance format powered by HD-CVI technology.
MPX delivers megapixel picture quality over coax, meaning you can upgrade your existing
analog systems to HD resolution (1MP, 2.1MP, & 4MP) over a single coax cable (RG59 &
RG6 compatible).
NOTE
The DVRs covered in this manual are compatible with 4MP (2K), 2MP (1080p),1MP (720p), 960H, and
standard analog cameras.
6.1 What types of cabling and run lengths does MPX work with?
MPX allows a maximum cable run of up to 2300ft (700m) @ 720p, up to 2000ft (610m) @
1080p, or up to 1300ft (400m) @ 4MP, depending on the type of cable used (see below). It
is required that the cable runs be made in a single run between camera and DVR, as dai-
sychaining multiple cable runs together can prevent the DVR from getting a picture from
the camera or may impact image quality. MPX supports standard UTP baluns for use with
CAT5E or CAT6 cabling in your installation. The baluns should have a 12V and BNC con-
nection at both ends. You can run up to 300ft (91m) per segment of CAT5E or CAT6.

1. Long cable runs over 1000ft may be affected by electromechanical interference (EMI), which can increase the
amount of noise in the picture in some installations.
2. If using a balun, ensure it is rated for the maximum supported resolution of the camera (e. g., a 4MP camera
requires a balun rated for 4MP or above).
