Down Imaging, as the name suggests, is the ability on fishfinders to provide detailed picture-like images of the bottom and structures directly below the Boat. The picture-like images are displayed using specific Down Imaging software that represents the return Sonar signal in a more realistic manner.
Â
The term Down ImagingTM is a registered trademark (TM) of Humminbird. Other Fishfinder brands have similar software, but cannot refer to it as Down Imaging, eg. Lowrance have trademarked their software/technology as DownScan ImagingTM (DSI), while Garmin calls it DownVü.
Â
The Frequency used for Down Imaging is typically 800 kHz (45°) and 455khz (75°) - hence the technology operates best in shallower waters. The 800khz Beam gives the sharpest image Resolution whereas the 455khz Beam gives the best overall image quality and depth.
Â
When combined with Side Imaging technology, Down Imaging gives the user a full 180 degree view of the bottom. (c.f. Side Imaging, StructureScan)
