The inspection challenge
Bring the manhole interior into view.
The MX-100 supports capture from ground level so teams can review interior geometry and visual records after the field visit. Plan each inspection around the site’s access conditions and safety procedures.
From capture to report
Four stages from the manhole to your inspection record.
The quick start guide covers each setup, collection, and processing step in detail.
02 · Capture
Record the interior
Follow the guide’s positioning, lighting, descent, and return procedure. Save the collection before shutting down.
03 · Process
Reconstruct and align
Select the BAG recording in the processing software, run reconstruction, and define the manhole axis for alignment and unfolding.
04 · Deliver
Measure and report
Review the point cloud, mesh, and unwrapped wall image. Add project details and export the required inspection record.
Outputs
Build an inspection record that can be reviewed after the field visit.
Review the separate visual, spatial, and reporting outputs produced by the MX-100 workflow.
HD Video
Panoramic imagery and video provide visual records of shaft walls, pipelines, and base structures for later review.
3D Mesh Model
A reconstructed mesh represents the manhole interior for spatial review and documentation.
Point Cloud
Colorized spatial data shows captured geometry and supports measurement and inspection workflows.
Unwrap Image
An unwrapped wall view helps reviewers examine and document surface conditions around the manhole.
Defect Report
Organized inspection records can bring together captured imagery, model views, and reviewed findings. Confirm report fields and local requirements for your workflow.
Collection and processing
Monitor capture, reconstruct the interior, measure, and document.
The collection interface presents operational status and camera views. MXview 360 supports parsing, reconstruction, model unfolding, measurement, and report generation.
To evaluate the workflow, download the MX-100 manhole sample recording and follow the quick start guide.
Confirm software access, supported versions, and report configuration with ModeXion before evaluation.

What is included in the MX-100 sample download?
The download is a BAG source recording of a manhole test, approximately 58 seconds long. It contains camera and scan recordings for processing, rather than a finished point cloud, mesh, or report. View the sample download.
How do I process the sample BAG file?
Use compatible MX-100 processing software. The quick start guide shows how to create a project folder, select the BAG file, start reconstruction, and align the model. Confirm software access and version compatibility with ModeXion before downloading.
Which inspection outputs can I review?
The workflow supports panoramic imagery and video, 3D mesh models, point clouds, unwrapped wall images, and inspection reports. Select the outputs and report fields required for your inspection. Explore the output examples.
Can the MX-100 be operated from ground level?
Yes. The system is designed to be lowered into a manhole using an extension rod or suitable support, with collection controlled through its interface. Follow the guide’s procedure and the site’s safety requirements.
Where can I find setup and computer requirements?
The MX-100 quick start guide includes device setup, capture precautions, processing steps, and minimum PC specifications. Contact ModeXion to confirm the requirements for your current software package.
