- Lowrance Product Expert Jacob Scott walks through the basic settings, set up and interpretation of Active Imaging SideScan.
Check out this breakdown Active Imaging Color Palettes, Contrast settings, the SideScan screen, plus tips on identifying fish, navigating back to a waypoint saved to the side of your boat, plus sonar interpretation tips on recognizing bottom composition, laydowns and how far fish are from the bottom.
Active Imaging SideScan delivers views of structure and cover at a new level of refined detail up to 150 feet to each side of the boat. The high-level clarity, target separation and detail of Active Imaging will help you find more fish by making it easier to quickly identify fish-holding structure like rockpiles, standing timber, weedbeds, ditches and drop-offs.
Active Imaging is available as a 3-in-1 transducer with CHIRP, SideScan and DownScan Imaging or as a 2-in-1 transducer with SideScan and DownScan Imaging for anglers that already have a CHIRP transducer installed on their boat.

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ruclips.net/user/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
The Elite TI(2) units are really great units, I love em! I had 2 units of the first generation and now i have 3 TI2 9" units. They are awesome!
Nice explanation. Thanks !
Great video buddy!
Привет 👋 👋! Jacob, thanks for the info! I constantly watch new videos on your channel, very interesting! I have a slightly off-topic question about Side Scan, but I still want to hear information from the first person) When will the Ti devices support Active Imaging 3in1 transducers and will it be?
Hy guys, amazing thing- switch of ch1, ch2 downscan, sidescan continues work! But Sonar stop, amazing!!!
Do you have a video for sea fishing and deep water for this unit or is there another that would be better? Depths of up to 350ft.
great tutorial
Good video....thanks.
It's possible install on the lowrance transducer hst wsbl?
Truly amazing how you can get such a clear image of the passing shoreline with the boat sitting perfectly still. Don't get me wrong, I'm still probably going to get one, but it would be nice if the "in use" video would reflect the waves and steering variations you get when you're actually looking at live sonar, instead of a "demo" loop.
can you mount to active 3 in 1 transducer on trolling motor?
Will a hook7 do side scan imaging if you purchase the transducer? And if so what transducer would be best?
When is the MRU integrated into the sensor!
In the tail of competitors!
Hi Jacob. Just bought a HDS 9 Live with 3-1 tranceducer. Before I had an old 5 inch Ray Marine sonar, but this is a new World for me. Allmost everyone mount the tranceducer in the rear, but I will have it on portside for vertical fishing. I will be able to rotate 360 degrees. What can I expect with side scanning if the tranceducer is pointing to the left instead of pointing backwards? Is there any video showing how the image will apear compared to the normal situation with a black area in the middle under the boat?
Just bought the Active imaging transducer and the sideview is just showing a green vertical line with horizontal lines going thru it.Any ideas.I have the NSS evo3
Cheers guys
Is the two black side a blind spot underneath your vessel? Time 6:27 shows roughly that you're in 25 feet of water, the blue line also starts at that mark and goes outwards to 150 feet. Does this mean that you're blind to the bottom for a range of ~ 50 feet total between the left and right of your vessal?
Will this work with the hds9gen3?
Doesn't the Side Imaging side distance ALSO INCLUDE the distance to the bottom as part of the range you set. I.E. if in 25ft of water the side view is not 150 from your boat, but really 125 ft from your boat?
Is there any way to record what you're seeing and export it in some way?
Sorry, but, I still have TotalScan and this new FishReveal looks the same to me. Other than being able to make the bottom on down view a different color than the water column returns, I don't see a difference in detail from what I see on my TotalScan on the GO9XSE and I am still trying to master the settings
I am leaning toward the HDS live for now and the future. Will be using the Rhodan. Just setting up mud boat with 23 hp Backwater EFI.
Well if you need help, please don't hesitate to reach out to us on Facebook or you can call or email us.
When you mark a waypoint on something like a rock, does the unit do the math to triangulate it and place it correctly based on the depth of water and range to the object? Or do you need to make your waypoint closer to your boat to offset the depth component of the range? Thanks, I just got a Carbon and am excited to try it out
I have this same unit and transducer. When you stop your screen an mark your way point let's say on a sunken tree, your waypoint will save on top of the tree so you can go back and fish that spot. I do alot of trolling crackbaits and I mark structure and schools of fish so I can go back and flip a jig to that spot and pull fish out of it.
What a coincidence that the video was filmed over the hardest bottom they could come up with...
Nice
Still can’t get the clear picture. Everyone always shows the clear picture it gives but no one shows how to get the clear picture.
I have a carbon 16 . How fast do I need to go for side scan to work the best? Thanks
I think i read some specs that say 10mph maximum
hello , i have a ELITE 7 TI2, all seem running well , transducer 3 in 1 , but with down scan imaging when it is deeper than 20 meters we see nothing ( 0 to 15 m, perfect), what is the range of the dowscan? THX
Should be the range setting needs to be changed to a deeper setting or set to auto.
But i'm still learning settings also but i don't have the issue you mention here.
Can you do a video for off shore fishing and explain the different transducers available for each model and the depth it is able to scan. I would like to see canyon drop offs and mark fish where the upwelling of nutrient rich water from the depths takes place in 1000-2000 feet of water in the Pacific Ocean.
Is this for the HDS 7 gen3? And my tag rotten away wondering what side scan transducer I have got it a 3 years ago?
Hi
THe Active Imaging transducers work on HDS Carbon and HDS Live units but not HDS GEN3 units
Great video👍...Listen i just purchased my 1st Lowrance unit long time Humminbird user here.I bought the HDS live 9.First time out last week i noticed using 800 that i have 2 black lines on either side of my image around 20 feet out on either side.I see u have the same black lines on either side what causes this?
Hi,
Welcome to the family. The black lines are the area directly below the boat. The side imaging does not send signals straight down so there is no signal returned in the area directly below the boat. As a result the area is black. You will notice the screen is black on the far outside as well. that too is caused by no return information. If you look at the display you will notice the left hand side the image to the outside stops sooner than the right side. The boat is closer to the shore on the left side so the imaging is stopping essentially at the shoreline. I hope that answer your question.
@@lowrance ....Thanks for the fast response.I thought i had an issue because when on 455 the lines go away but seeing them on your screen makes me feel better...Thanks again for taking the time...Jim
and also where the image start in the blackarea the is the top surface look like . is li a down image too
Hi I just got the active imaging transducer 3 in 1 for my carbon 7 tried it out today and all I get on my screen is a very narrow strip when I have it on side scan that takes up a very small amount of the screen and absolutely no detail cannot make anything out at all can you make any suggestions as to what im.doing wrong
Hi
First make certain you have selected the proper channel for the source. If that is not the issue you may have the transducer plugged into the wrong port.on the back of the unit. On the Carbon 7" unit the 3in1 trnsducer should be plugged into the the connector beside the power connector
Hi, Great videos 👍I just baught my first "real" sonar. A Lowrance Elite-7 Ti2 with a Ai 3-I-1 transducer. But I mounted in the other way around! 🤪 So I think the side scan is wrong? Left is right and right is left!! Can I change that in the Lowrance ti2 unit?
Thanks :mattias
Hi
Yes you can flip the image. When viewing the sidescan image you have the option in the right hand menu to flip left/right
@@lowrance Thanks for rapid response 👍It was that simple ☺️☺️🤭I saw that now. Thanks
Can you help me out? Installed a hook reveal 7SS on my new 2020 tracker. I powered it on the same leads as the stock lowrance was, which gets power from the crank battery. It works fine but whenever I accelerate to go on plane the unit turns off.
I would say check all the connections again for loose or dirty wires. These units are extremely power sensitive.
What transducer do you have? I have the 3-1 transducer. Is that the same as the one your running??
Yes, we're running a AI 3in1 transducer.
Can I split screen three ways on my HDs 12 live. For instance can I have the left of side image to the left and then have navigation in the middle and then on the right have the right side of side scan?
Yes, you can have that split screen and choose the individually the left and the right side of the sidescan.
Would the Ai transducer give a better image than the totalscan at deeper depths! 40, 100, 150 ft? Is it worth swapping, HDS Gen 3 and HDS Carbon units, thanks.
The AI transducer will definitely give you better details than the totalscan, and you would need a HDS Carbon to run it. The Carbon will also be compatible with the new ActiveTarget. It is well worth it.
I have the ghost trolling motor......do I need a different transducer than the one that came with the ghost if I want side scan and how do I get my gen 3 to work with my ghost trolling motor..".....
Yes, you have the HDI and you would need to get the 3in1. No, the Gen3 cannot control the Ghost, it's not compatible.
Will that transducer work with the elite ti 9
Hi
This transducer will work with the following units, HDS Live, HDS Carbon, and the Elite Ti2. If you have the first version of the Elite unit it will not work
@@lowrance ok thanks for the quick response
How can I get more clarity from the transducer when mounted on a jet ski?
If the transducer is at the back, the jet will cause a lot of turbulent water.
Maybe drive slower ;-)
@@lowrance Does the transducer have to be mounted by the jets or can I mount it further behind the jets? I don't own one yet am interested in getting one and the model HDS-12 live with 3-1 transducer.
How do I connect my gen 3 to my ghost trolling motor
The Gen3 is not compatible with the Ghost. You would need a HDS Carbon or HDS Live. Or you could opt for the Elite FS.
Nice video. Would love to see HDS7 in action... And no, they are not the same (excluding obvious screen size).
Unless you have a HDS Gen3, which is not compatible with the AI 3in1, the rest would be the same.
@@lowrance
Thanks fo reply.
HDS7 has a slower processor. Multiple touches (in quick sequence) causes a 1-2 second stop in touch response.
It's really annoying. I've never seen a demo on a HDS12 that has the same touch response stalling effect.
From memory the 9 and 12 are quad processor.
Hopefully i don't have a faulty unit as everything else works... Except wifi connectivity after last system update.
Can't find my router wifi unless i use Iperf search. Still investigating.
Pity i just couldn't fit the 9 in the cab space.
How does water depth affect images on side scan?
Water depth would be shown as the black part which is, in fact, showing the water column.
I'm sorry. I was wondering if you would be ae to see objects clearer in 15 ft. of water as opposed to 5 ft when viewing sides can. I understand that the dark area in the center is the water colum
..I didn't try the 450 Mhz setting on my 7-Ti2 until very recently...didn't realize that it has much better side-viewing distance and maybe silt-cutting ability capability too...if I want to take a more detailed look using 800 MHz, I just make another pass of the submerged object in the Minnow III...
Need some fs 9 videos now
Thanks for the suggestions. They'll be coming.
I just got a 12and a 9 Live. When i fish in less then 7feet they hang
up and show 300feet and more. It is the same with 3 of my friends units. Not a coincidence i think 5 units with the same problems. Extensive stuff has to Work , this is not good for the brand i think.. have any one else this issue??or is it only for we who live in Sweden.
Hi,
I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties. If in less thn 7' of water I am assuming you are using sidescan as the downscan coverage would only be 3'ft or less. If you are using SideScan please try increasing the range to 10 feet or more. That should help the unit lock on to the bottom and hold it.
We have sidescan set in the range between about 30/90’, Works great for maby 5 min then it hangs up, this happens even when we Run it on ordinary 200khz sonar.Hope you ar fixing this in the next sofwere update. Great things you explein,😊👍 an other question i have is how to tell what is fish or maby a seawead laying on the bottom. We fish a lott fore pike in Sweden and before it spanes in the spring it stayes wery close to the or on the bottom when the water is cold . Is it possible to determen if it is fish or something else? Great show by the way😄👍
HI,
I have reported the issue to the engineers and they will be looking at it. in answer to your queston about seaweed; Experience will be the best teacher when it comes to distinguishing fish from seaweed or any vegitation but there are a few pointers to help you in that quest. When we mark a fish we are almost always marking the airbladder of the fish. The airbladder can never actually lay on the bottom so if it is close to the bottom but not touching it raises the probability it is a fish. Fish will usually mark with an arced shape seaweed tend to mark in longer straight lines that can be horizontal, vertical or at differing angle but not typically in an arc. And last a fish will typically mark with a weaker return that gets strong in the middle and then grows weak again. The strogest return is usuall in the middle of the arc. Seaweed will have a more consistent return acros the entire return with less veriation in the strength of the return. I hope this helps
Thanks for helping, you explaned it wery well i think. I am a big lowrance fan for maby 10 years now and the new HDS live is more then amazing when it comes to the details on sidescan. Keep up the god Work 😊😎
Looks good . A little better but still not as detailed and crisp as humming birds side image in my opinion.
Hello what is the deep of side down imagine
Traditional sonar: 305 m (1000 ft) at 200 kHz/High Chirp and 83 kHz/Medium Chirp;
DownScan: 91 m (300 ft); SideScan: 91 m (300 ft) side range at 455 kHz, 46 m (150ft) side range at 800 kHz
What Probe
200 w or
600 w or
1 kw or
3 kw ?
We are referring to the AI 3in1 600w
You have Amazing sidescan, amazing and clear fish shadows with ethernet network hub and sonars ( [this unit], [left console] ) +sun tent, but sorry, Live only with AI 3-1 has not such amazing and clear view......
You lost me when you said that paddle fish was in about 15’ of water ? How did you determine that the numbers on the screen are how far away from the boat that spot is not the depth ?
Wish you had explained difference between 455 & 800 kHz..! And shown examples.
Hi Larry, there are other videos you can check out.

Again big hype misleading words live imagine
Sidescan doesn't read in deeper water worth a crap.. 250-300 meters I've tinkered with the settings and all you get it like bright dots and blackness you can't make out anything.. hypothesis is sides and is irrelevant deeper then 50ft.. stick to sonar
Contrast > More power to the water ??? What????? Who is this guy? The power is just post-processing, has nothing to do with the power of the transducer... oh, I can be better expert in this case :D
Should i upgrade my 3D StructerScan to a Active Image 3in1? Is it better image on the Active Image 3in1?
Hi,
Structure 3D and Active Imaging are two different technologies for displaying what is in the water. I wouldn't replace the 3D i would add the 3in1 if possible. 3D uses elements arranged in such a way that we can process the image and provide spatial relationship to the returns. It allows you to get a perspective of the target as it relates to the boat, bottom, and sides of the area you are fishing. Active Imaging uses different elements for the transmit and receive functions. This allows us to use a much faster ping speed. Ping speed ( how often we transmit a pulse of sound) has a direct correlation to image resolution or clarity. WIth active imaging we no longer have to chose between high resolution and intricate detaill or range. We can have both
@@lowrance What the heck does that mean?
Does that mean we should have side by side transducers? Send that stupid answer to the big bang theory and maybe they will understand your answer. I just recently bought a $3000 dollar unit with the active imaging transducer. Last year i paid $1000 for a 3D structurescam module. Still dont understand if i can get rid of the 3D module. Nobody can tell me including the company who engineers and sells there own product.
