    11. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION 11.1 Principle of Operation The video sounder determines the distance between its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and displays the results on screen. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second.

  • Page 178: Sounder Displays

    11. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION 11.2 Sounder Displays There are nine display modes from which to choose: single frequency, dual-frequency, marker zoom, bottom zoom, bottom lock, bottom discrimination, A-scope, Mix display and plotter/sounder display. For Mix display, see paragraph 11.2.8. You may select a display as follows. 1.

  • Page 183: Mix Display

    11. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION 11.2.8 Mix display This mode compares echo intensity between low and high frequencies, and displays echoes from tiny fish in discriminative colors.
