MAIN FEATURES
This multiplexer can display images that are being recorded by a
camera in a split-screen (16, 9, 4), and it can also display
images that have already been recorded in a split-screen.
The MPX-CD93 model split-screen display is capable of
4-screen or 9-screen displays only.
•High-speed switching for each field at maximum speed
•Single-screen, 4-screen, 9-screen and 16-screen display,
camera images and video playback images can be displayed
in the lower-right corner of the screen, and automatic
switching is also possible.
•Multiple multiplexers can be connected together to create an
expanded system for centralized monitoring.
•A single-screen can be displayed during spot monitoring and
the alarm screen can be displayed when an alarm occurs.
•Timer setting allows the following settings to be made for
each camera.
– Program recording lets images from a specified camera
be recorded during four different daily time zones.

CONNECTIONS
Digital connections
ADigitally connecting four multiplexers
Up to four of these units can be connected for monitoring.
By connecting several units, up to 64 cameras can be viewed with one main monitor. Also, by connecting a recorder to each
multiplexer, playback of recorded images can be viewed on the main monitor.
* For the MPX-CD93 model, the total number of cameras that can be viewed with one monitor is 36, nine to each unit.
Use straight-type CAT-5 RS485 cables (sold separately) to connect the DIGITAL IN connectors to the digital output connectors of
other devices.
Use cables with a length of 3 m or less.
Note: (Main unit and sub-units)
•Main unit and sub-units must be specified. Distinguishing a main unit and sub-units enables the main unit to display the camera
images of a sub-unit on the monitor. (See page 50.)
•Since no video signal is output from the main monitor output connector on the rear panel of a sub-unit, if a monitor is connected the
screen will be black.
•If these connections have been made, a digital video recorder cannot be connected digitally.

CONNECTIONS
External alarm sensor setup
In order to make an external alarm sensor operate, an external
switch must be connected to an ALARM IN connector. When an
intruder activates the external switch (such as by opening a
door), an alarm signal is received and an alarm can be made to
sound.
The MPX-CD93 model uses the connectors marked *.
Using as a monitor board during a
motion sensor alarm
When the motion sensor built into the multiplexer responds to an
alarm, it outputs an alarm signal to the SENSOR ALARM OUT
connector. If a switching circuit such as a warning lamp is
connected to this connector, the warning lamp will illuminate
when there is a response from the motion sensor. If the warning
lamp is fixed somewhere in the layout diagram for an area such
as a factory, the location of the camera can be ascertained in an
instant during an emergency. The connector is always open.
The pin corresponding to the number of the camera that
generates a sensor response switches to Low.
