About MPX

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) over a single coax cable (RG59 & RG6
compatible).
NOTE
The DVRs covered in this manual are compatible with 1MP (720p) and 2MP (1080p) cameras.

7.1 What types of cabling and run lengths does MPX work with?

MPX allows a maximum cable run of up to 2300ft (700m) @ 720p or up to 2000ft (610m)
@ 1080p, 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 daisychaining 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 connection 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.
