2. Introducing NECTA Line Scan Cameras 17
2.1 NECTA
NECTA is a family of ultra-compact line scan cameras with USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 interface. The adoption of
new technology Complementary MOS (CMOS) linear sensors and USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 connectivity allows
NECTA to reach very high acquisition speed while still using consumer-class interface.
NECTA is directly powered by the USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 bus eliminating the need for external power adapters.
Reduced size and low power consumption, solid construction, low installation cost, ease of program-
ming and versatility make NECTA devices suited for the most demanding industrial applications: in-line
inspection, web inspection, document scanning, metrology.
An easy-to-use set of software API is available, which allows developers to quickly produce fast and
clean code both on Windows and Linux, supporting all major programming languages, such as Python,
C#, VB, C++ in Visual Studio or QT environment. Our Software Development Kit provided with NECTA
cameras, is fully compatible with Cognex VisionPro, MVTech Halcon, NI LabView and other major ma-
chine vision software for industrial application.

2.2 NECTA FAMILY
NECTA cameras use high performance linear CMOS sensors. The models in the family differ in size,
layout and number of pixels of the sensor. Table 2.1 shows all models and their characteristics. Some
cameras use sensors featuring two lines and they are available both in BW and RGB version. All cameras
are directly powered through the USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 connection. Except where explicitly specied, all
statements herein refer to the entire NECTA family.
