View the underwater world in front of and below your vessel in 16 colors on a panoramic, sunlight-viewable LCD display. With Interphase’s exclusive phased array scanning sonar technology, you get advanced sonar performance in a compact, feature packed display—all at a very affordable price.

Working like underwater ultrasonic radar, the Color Twinscope scans a moving beam over a 90 degree arc either vertically, from the surface ahead to the bottom below—or horizontally, back and forth across the bow of the boat like a searchlight.

Unique among scanning sonars, the new Interphase Color Twinscope uses a small and easy to install transducer with no moving parts. Vessels trying to find safe passage through pinnacles, rock outcroppings, coral heads, reefs and shoaling conditions, or concerned about hitting submerged objects like whales, shipping containers and large icebergs will find the Color Twinscope a powerful addition to their navigation equipment. It is ideal for cruising through dangerous, uncharted waters.

Serious sportfishing boats will find the Color Twinscope’s ability to quickly search large areas, its forward target detection with external alarm capability and the resolution enhancing 16-level color display major competitive advantages. All owners will appreciate the unique display cursor that instantly provides range and depth to selected forward objects, the ability to connect an optional camera to monitor engine rooms or other important areas and its straightforward, easy operation.

Similar to medical ultrasound, phased array technology uses sound waves to produce radar-like underwater images of the area below, beside and in front of your vessel. At the heart of Interphase phased array technology is an advanced "beam former system" coupled to an array of carefully spaced ceramic transducer elements which can produce and steer underwater sound beams in many different directions by electronically phasing or timing the signals to each element. The resulting transducer requires no unreliable motors or other moving parts and can be easily mounted in a fixed position in the vessel's hull. No expensive hoists or sea chests are required.

The new Color Twinscope is more than just a color LCD version of the popular Twinscope unit. While it retains the important features of the original Twinscope, it offers a new design and many added features that make it even more useful for navigation and fishing.

For starters, there's a completely new panoramic color display with a 16:9 aspect ratio adapted from wide-screen TVs and computer monitors. This format allows for improved presentation of split-screen displays, such as when viewing sonar/digital data or traditional depth sounder display with forward-looking sonar simultaneously. With colors directly related to target strength, this display will make target identification easier than ever, whether you're navigating a tricky reef or pinpointing a school of gamefish ahead of the boat.
