information is displayed, so each update contains information gathered from several transmit and receive cycles.

The Wide 3D Paramount uses advanced signal processing to evaluate these sonar returns. If a return meets certain criteria, a fish symbol is assigned. There are three different size symbols used to indicate the intensity of the sonar return. While signal intensity is a good indicator of relative fish size, different species of fish have different sonar characteristics, so it is not always possible to distinguish fish size between varying species. The signal intensity is "normalized" for

Using the 3D view

Figure F shows a typical view you can expect to see on-water. New sonar information appears on the lower right of the display and moves to the left as new information is displayed. The Wide 3D Paramount automatically selects the appropriate depth range to show the depth of water beneath the transducer. This range is selected so that the bottom representation is typically shown about 2/3 down the display. The depth range is shown at the lower right of the display. As the depth of the water changes, the Wide 3D Paramount automatically adjusts the depth range as necessary to view the bottom on-screen. When this occurs an audible chirp is heard.

Depth, water surface temperature, and boat speed are displayed across the lower left part of the screen. The active menu appears in the upper left of the display. The boat icon appears in the upper right corder of the display and represents the location of the user’s boat relative to the on- screen information. The location of the boat icon will change if the user changes the perspective. (see control functions)

The graphic depiction of the bottom provides the user with an effective tool for understanding the terrain beneath the boat. Each of the six sonar beams transmits a signal at a rate of about four time per second. The returned signals from each transmit are compared and evaluated before the information is displayed, so each update contains information gathered from several transmit and receive cycles.

The Wide 3D Paramount uses advanced signal processing to evaluate these sonar returns. If a return meets certain criteria, a fish symbol is assigned. There are three different size symbols used to indicate the

intensity of the sonar return. While signal intensity is a good indicator of relative fish size, different species of fish have different sonar characteristics, so it is not always possible to distinguish fish size between varying species. The signal intensity is “normalized” for depth so a small fish close to the boat does not appear as a large fish symbol.

3D specifications

Humminbird 3D is a groundbreaking sonar technology that has revolutionized the way anglers and marine enthusiasts navigate and fish under the surface of water. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques, this system provides an unparalleled view of underwater structures, fish, and other elements, making it a vital tool for any serious angler.

At its core, Humminbird 3D employs a proprietary sonar technology that combines traditional 2D sonar with sophisticated 3D mapping capabilities. This dual functionality allows users to visualize underwater environments in a way that was previously unimaginable. The 3D views offer depth perception, enabling anglers to identify ledges, drop-offs, and other crucial fishing spots with precision. Instead of just a flat representation, users can see the terrain's contours, making it easier to understand the underwater landscape.

One of the standout features of Humminbird 3D is its ability to create real-time three-dimensional maps. This allows users to dynamically adjust their strategies while fishing, as they can continually monitor how fish are interacting with their surroundings. Furthermore, the system boasts enhanced target separation capabilities, making it easier to distinguish between individual fish and structures.

Another key technology utilized in Humminbird 3D is its integration with the CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) sonar technology. This allows for clearer images and improved target resolution, providing comprehensive details about various underwater elements. The result is greater accuracy in identifying fish species and understanding their behavior in relation to underwater structures.

Humminbird 3D also features an easy-to-use interface, designed to be intuitive for users of all experience levels. The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing Humminbird products, enhancing the functionality of existing setups without requiring a complete overhaul. Additionally, it supports connectivity with other devices, allowing for the sharing of data and enhancing the overall fishing experience.

Durability and reliability are also characteristics inherent to the Humminbird 3D system. Designed for the harsh environments of marine use, it can withstand the rigors of fishing and boating, ensuring that users have a dependable tool at their disposal.

In summary, Humminbird 3D is a game-changer in the realm of sonar technology, providing anglers with unprecedented insights into underwater environments. Its combination of 3D mapping, CHIRP sonar, real-time monitoring, and user-friendly interface makes it a valuable asset for anyone looking to enhance their fishing experience and gain an edge on the water.
