Hydrodynamic noise can be overcome by proper transducer installation. Many Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting that allows the user to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate.

Pixels: Pixels are the "picture elements", or small square blocks, that make up the image on the LCD. Measured as a vertical by horizontal number (i.e. 640V x 320H), this key specification typically indicates the quality of resolution. In fishfinders, the total resolution (vertical multiplied by horizontal) is often less important than the "Vertical Pixel" resolution. See Pixels, Vertical.

Pixels, Vertical: Vertical Pixels are a number of vertical picture elements in a single column on an LCD display. A greater number of vertical pixels provide finer resolution of targets detected by sonar. Essentially, a vertical distance (the depth), when divided by a larger number, breaks that distance into smaller samples, each representing a smaller area and thus providing more detail. In fishfinders, vertical pixels are more critical than horizontal pixels because the horizontal axis of the display represents time, or history. Sonar information on the horizontal axis can vary greatly, depending on boat speed and the Chart Speed setting. A greater number of horizontal pixels show more sonar history that the boat has passed through. On many models, Humminbird® provides the most vertical pixels to provide a better display resolution. See Chart Speed and Pixels.

Power Output: Power output is the amount of sound energy emitted into the water by the sonar transmitter. Power output is measured using either RMS (Root Mean Square) or P-T-P (Peak-to-Peak) measurement systems. Either method is acceptable, but it is important, when comparing power outputs, to make sure that the same measurement system is being used for both outputs, because P-T-P numbers are 8 times higher than RMS numbers. Greater power output allows the sonar signal to penetrate through weeds and thermoclines, reach deeper depths and operate more effectively in noisy environments, such as when the boat is running at high speed.

Pulse Width (Pulse Length): Pulse Width is the length of time that a sonar sound burst is transmitted into the water. Shorter pulse widths provide better target separation, but cannot travel to great depths. Longer pulse widths provide better depth penetration, but result in poorer target separation. Humminbird® varies pulse width based on depth to optimize both target separation and depth performance. See Target Separation.

757c, 787c2i specifications

The Humminbird 787c2i and 757c are advanced fish finders designed to enhance the fishing experience through their superior technology and features. These models are part of Humminbird's commitment to providing anglers with the tools needed to improve their catch rates and navigate the waters with ease.

One of the standout features of the Humminbird 787c2i is its brilliant 7-inch color display. The large, high-resolution screen offers crystal-clear imaging, making it easier to identify fish and underwater structures. Coupled with a user-friendly interface, the display allows anglers to quickly access vital information without distraction.

The 757c, while slightly smaller with a 7-inch screen as well, boasts similar color resolution and quality. Both models utilize Humminbird's cutting-edge sonar technologies, including DualBeam PLUS sonar, which provides versatility in fishing techniques. The DualBeam technology allows the user to switch between narrow and wide beams for precise coverage of underwater areas.

Another notable feature is the exclusive SwitchFire technology. This enables users to customize the way sonar returns are displayed on their screen. Anglers can choose between a traditional view or an enhanced view, allowing for a more detailed look at the underwater environment. The added water column data helps in recognizing fish movement and behavior, invaluable information for any angler.

Both models come equipped with built-in GPS capabilities. The 787c2i includes a mapping feature that allows for precise navigation on water. The included Navionics Gold cartography provides detailed charts and information about various water bodies, helping anglers to find new fishing hotspots effortlessly.

For connectivity, the Humminbird 787c2i and 757c support an array of accessories, including radar and i-Pilot Link, enhancing the user experience with added functionalities like autopilot and advanced navigation features.

Other characteristics include an accurate temperature sensor, adjustable backlighting for optimal visibility in various lighting conditions, and a flexible mounting system. Overall, the Humminbird 787c2i and 757c stand out not just for their features, but also for their reliability and performance on the water, making them a valuable choice for both novice and seasoned anglers. These fish finders embody the spirit of innovation that Humminbird is known for, ensuring that users have the best tools at their disposal for a successful fishing expedition.
