System Setup
5.1 USB SETUP
NECTA is controlled and powered through the USB connector. When the camera is connected to the
PC through one USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 hub, you must be sure that the hub directly connected to the camera
uses a suitable power supply: using poor quality power supplies may degrade the performance of the
camera or damage it.
For maximum performance, the controlling computer must be equipped with appropriate USB 3.2 Gen
1x1 interface (see section 5.1.2).
NECTA data throughput can reach 3.2 Gbps; it is therefore recommended to reserve a USB 3.2 Gen 1x1
host controller for the camera.
If anyother device must coexist with NECTA , it must not transfer data while camerais operating. NECTA
can also operate with USB interfaces prior to USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 . Depending on the setup, some function-
ality may not be available or suffer signicant performance degradation.
Keep USB cable far from potential EMC interference sources (e.g. power cords and cables carrying
strong impulsive currents) during installation.
Refer to Section 3.6.7 for further information.
5.1.1 How to choose a suitable USB cable
Cables must match the USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 standard in order to properly work with NECTA camera. Refer
to “Universal Serial Bus 3.2 Specication” available at www.usb.org.
One of the USB greatest advantages is that it provides a 5 V power supply. Connected USB devices are
usually powered through the USB cable, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
Since USB is also designed for quick and easy connections/disconnections, standard connectors do not
