Interphase offers the sailor or fisherman a virtual image of the underwater area ahead of the boat! Two methods of scanning are used.
FORWARD VERTICAL SCANNING - see submerged objects and bottom contour directly in front of your boat
In some products the phased array transducer is oriented to scan a 12 degree beam vertically from directly ahead of the vessel to the bottom below. The vertical scanning mode provides an incredible useful tool to monitor the water's depth directly ahead of the vessel and warn of hazards or changing bottom conditions.
FORWARD HORIZONTAL SCANNING - see a radar-like picture of the submerged area ahead and to each side of your boat
The transducer array can also be oriented so that it scans a 12 degree beam either 90 or 180 degrees horizontal arc. The horizontal scan is extremely useful to track schools of fish and help locate and follow tricky channels and find openings in reefs.
