# Prerequisites

With NavVis IVION Processing and IVION Processing Enterprise, you can post-process your Datasets in a cloud-based environment within IVION.

## NavVis IVION Processing

- A IVION account.
- Data scanned with a NavVis VLX or NavVis MLX or NavVis CLX with a valid IVION Processing license. Contact your Customer Success Manager or NavVis Technical Support for details.
- Administrator rights to a NavVis IVION Instance or membership in a IVION user group with the *Data Manager* role.
- For NavVis MLX datasets to be processed with NavVis IVON Processing, the minimum version required for the instance is IVION 11.3.2

## NavVis IVION Processing Enterprise

- An active IVION Enterprise instance
- For NavVis CLX datasets, the device owner and the owner of the IVION Enterprise instance must belong to the same account. Processing data owned by another account (cross-account processing) is supported for NavVis VLX and NavVis MLX only.

### Additional Prerequisites for NavVis CLX

Point cloud processing for NavVis CLX datasets follows a different licensing model than NavVis VLX and NavVis MLX:

- Each NavVis CLX device includes a flat-rate entitlement for point cloud processing on that device. You do not need to estimate or buy processing units in advance for standard point cloud processing.
- The entitlement is device-specific and has its own validity period, independent of your account-level processing balance. Adding another NavVis CLX device adds a separate entitlement, and it does not change or shorten the coverage of a device you already own.
- Value-added processing features, such as person blurring, license plate blurring, and Gaussian Splatting, are not covered by the flat-rate entitlement. These features consume processing units from your account-level processing balance for all devices, including NavVis CLX.

### FAQ

#### 

Upload and processing depend on a valid license/credentials held by the device-owning company's Account Administrator. A user under another company needs authorized access to access those data.

#### 

#### 

Functionality that allows processing of data recorded by NavVis devices. Processing recorded datasets is necessary to be able to use the data in an application like NavVis IVION.

A dataset is a piece of a site, the result of a continuous recording with a NavVis mapping device or the result of an imported point cloud. Datasets can contain panoramic images and point clouds.

A NavVis IVION instance is a copy of the NavVis IVION software running on a hosting server. An instance has a database which contains the associated datasets, users, and more. That data is accessible via the instance URL.
