Technology Down Imaging

Humminbird® High Definition Down Imaging™ Sonar

We’ve pointed our Side Imaging® technology in a new direction: straight down. Now you can see what is happening directly below your boat. Timber, weed, bridge pylons, reefs and any other structure will pop with stunning detail as you patrol the water.
The picture-like images of Down Imaging™ are created with high-frequency sound waves emitted in razor thin slices. The sonar returns from these waves create an instant “snapshot” directly below the boat. Our exclusive software analyzes the returns to verify the position of the echoes to ensure Down Imaging only shows you structure and activity directly beneath you, and not off to one side or another.
