6 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, & 4MP) over a single coax cable
(RG59 & RG6 compatible).
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 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.
