Panoptix and Livescope Transducer Comparison

Transducer Models: PS30 & PS31: 

These transducers provide a LiveVu sonar image with the traditional sonar feel to the imaging and 3-D views.

PS30

LiveVu Down:  Provides real-time moving sonar images. You can see fish swimming toward or away from the boat. You can see small bait fish and large target fish swimming around, as well as your lure. 

RealVu 3-D Down:  Allows your boat to remain stationary and still see things in 3-D around your boat. It shows history of only one sweep. 

RealVu 3-D Historical:  Used for finding fish while your boat is moving. This shows the entire water column you have passed over in 3-D, from the bottom surface and all of the fish in between. 

PS31

LiveVu Forward:  Updates the entire view with a single ping and has more of a "live video" look, providing real-time, moving sonar images. You can see fish swimming toward or away from the boat. You can see small bait fish and large target fish swimming around as well as your lure as you reel it in. 

RealVu 3-D:  Updates a slice of the 3-D volume with each ping and takes 1 to 4 seconds to update the entire volume. It shows the bottom and fish in the water column coming toward the boat. It sweeps forward and then history on the screen is only one sweep. 

Transducer Models: PS21, PS22, PS51, & PS60

These transducers support a slimmer profile compared to the first generation and provide alternate mounting options such as thru-hull options (PS-51, PS-60). These transducers provide a LiveVu sonar image with the traditional sonar feel to the imaging and 3-D views depending on model.
