Traditional transducers emit a conical beam. The DownVü 

scanning sonar technology emits a narrow beam, similar to the 

shape of the beam in a copying machine. This beam provides a 

clearer, picture-like image of what is beneath the boat.

SideVü Sonar View

NOTE: 

Not all models support SideVü sonar and scanning 

transducers.

NOTE: 

To receive SideVü scanning sonar, you need a 

compatible chartplotter, a compatible sounder module, and a 

compatible transducer.
SideVü scanning sonar technology shows you a picture of what 

lies to the sides of the boat. You can use this as a search tool to 

find structures and fish.

SideVü/DownVü Scanning Technology

Instead of a more common conical beam, the SideVü/DownVü 

transducer uses a flat beam to scan the water and ground to the 

sides of your boat.

Split-Zoom Sonar View

The split-zoom sonar view shows a full-view graph of sonar 

readings, and a magnified portion of that graph, on the same 

screen.

Split-Frequency Sonar View

In the split-frequency sonar view, one side of the screen shows 

a full-view graph of high frequency sonar data, and the other 

side of the screen shows a full-view graph of lower frequency 

sonar data.

NOTE: 

The split-frequency sonar view requires the use of a 

dual-frequency transducer.

Panoptix

 Sonar Views

NOTE: 

Not all models support Panoptix transducers.

To receive Panoptix sonar, you need a compatible chartplotter 

and a compatible transducer.
ThePanoptix sonar views allow you to see all around the boat in 

real time. You can also see your bait being cast into the water 

and bait schools in front of or below your boat.
The LiveVü sonar views provide you a view of the live 

movement either in front of or below your boat. The screen 

updates very quickly, producing sonar views that look more like 

live video.
The RealVü 3D sonar views provide three-dimensional views of 

either what is in front of or below your boat. The screen updates 

with each sweep of the transducer.
To see all five Panoptix sonar views, you need one transducer 

to show the down views and a second transducer to show the 

forward views.
To access the Panoptix sonar views, select Sonar, and select a 

view.

LiveVü Down Sonar View

This sonar view shows a two-dimensional view of what is below 

the boat and can be used to see a bait ball and fish.

approaching the boat.
