In
the Color Twinscope's set-up menu, owners can configure one display as the Master
and the second as a remote and full display and control can be easily transferred
between the two by a momentary push of either display's power button. No external
switches are required and there's nothing to forget.
With
3,000 watts of peak-to-peak power and ranges up to 1,200 feet ahead, the Color
Twinscope and it's remote model CLR, are indispensable for detecting hazards like
submerged deadheads, rock pinnacles and reefs. Blue water fishermen will find
it invaluable for locating bait schools and game fish. And with the two-station
capability boaters will have the convenience of a forward looking scanning sonar
display in either of two locations.
Among
its many outstanding features, the Remote Color Twinscope CLR uses a panoramic
color display with 16:9 aspect ratio. This high-resolution color display is absolutely
brilliant with a choice of three-display modes - normal (blue), day (white) and
night (black). Screens are bright and colorful, and easy to read in any light
condition, including direct sunlight. The different color levels directly relate
to target strength, making target identification easier than ever.
Working
like underwater radar, the Color Twinscope system scans a moving beam over a 90-degree
arc, either vertically, or horizontally sides to side ahead of the boat. In the
horizontal scanning mode, the system electronically steers a searchlight like
beam from port to starboard across the bow, picking up any targets in its 12-degree
beam. It also operates as a traditional, downward-looking color echo sounder with
information being provided on a split screen with choice of either the vertical
or horizontal forward looking scan displays.
The
CLR unit, is designed for system integration and can output NMEA depth data to
other navigational electronics and accept NMEA lat/lon, speed and water temperature
inputs from external sources, for truly useful multi-function display on its wide
screen. It even has input for external video in order to view engine spaces, onboard
activities or underwater images. And if a boater wants to download future software
upgrades, he can easily do it using the Color Twinscopes serial interface.
The
Interphase Color Twinscope Remote Station Kit carries a MSRP of $1,642.00, including
a 30' length of the second station sonar and a serial link cable.
