Twinscope
Forward Looking Dual Axis scanning Sonar.

|
| The Twinscope from Interphase Technologies works like an underwater
acoustic radar to show "live action" views of shallowing bottom conditions, underwater
structures, large forward obstructions and fish or schools of bait out ahead of
your boat. The Twinscope is the first affordable navigational sonar with
the ability to look far forward and to the sides of your vessel. You can't afford
to be without this valuable tool. Utilizing
an exclusive phased array scanning technology the Twinscope can reveal
navigation hazards or suspended fish in the water in front of your boat while
monitoring current depth! What could be safer than to see ahead, underwater? New! Interphase Twinscope It's like having three units in one. The following
pictures are actual screen captures, these are not simulations. |

The first screen illustrates
the Probe mode (vertical scan) with the vessel in 30.6' of water, and a
sea wall about 130' ahead.
Also note the range marks along the top of the display (denoting the distance
to targets) as well as the range marks along the left side of the screen showing
relative depth of targets. The number '90' shows the bottom most range mark distance.
Bottom and forward ranges are related, but you can adjust the unit to search outward
about 6 times whatever the current vessel's depth.
The center screen shows the Sea Scout forward scanning mode. Notice its
striking similarity to aircraft Radar. Phased array Sonar borrows much of the
technology from phased array Radar now used on military aircraft! Like Radar,
the Interphase Sea Scout forward scanning Sonar will display target's distance
and direction from the vessel, but like Radar, it can not tell you the depth (or
altitude) of the target. Simply change the vessel direction to 'center' the target
on the screen, then switch to the Probe mode (vertical scan) and you can
actually 'measure' the size and depth of the target you found!
The lower screen shows our standard (like everyone else's) downward looking sounder.
Why would anyone settle for this 'down only' screen, when you could be looking
ahead!? |
Forward Vertical Scan,
Downward (Traditional View of Historical Bottom Chart), and Forward Side to Side
Scan!
The Twinscope utilizes Tru-Scan technology recently developed by Interphase. Many boaters
and commercial fishermen have asked us to combine the Probe and Sea Scout features in one unit. This
is it! You can now vertically or horizontally scan forward of the boat, with
one display unit. The Twinscope automatically switches functions at the
touch of a keypad... It's that easy and it's completely solid state. The Twinscope's actual screen-captures from the unit. Contact Interphase now for more information. Like all Interphase Scanning Sonars, the Twinscope is designed, manufactured, and 12 hour tested in the USA. |
