Interphase Escort
Affordable Forward Looking Sonar
Split Screen Forward View Shows Digital Depth and NMEA data on left and a
Shallowing Bottom approximately 75ft ahead of the boat on the right side
Interphase Technologies introduces Escort, a new high quality forward
vertical scanning sonar, providing superior underwater collision avoidance, at a
price lower than ever before.
Working like an underwater radar, with forward ranges to 1,200 ft and down
looking ranges up to 600 feet, the new ESCORT has the power and features to help
avoid semi-sunken containers, whales and icebergs in offshore waters, or to help
avoid rocks, coral reefs and other obstructions in more shallow coastal regions.
Designed for easy installation in today’s modern vessels, the Interphase
Escort comes complete with a remote keypad and display connections for VGA,
composite video and a special sunlight viewable Interphase 7” display with
integral keypad.
Owners can use existing onboard displays, add a new VGA or composite video
display or select the optional Interphase Sunlight Viewable 7” display with
integral keypad. The composite video output connects to many popular
multifunction displays from manufacturers such as Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno,
Simrad and others. Owners can also utilize the VGA output to connect to various
flat panel monitors from Nauticomp, VEI, Ambient Nav - even inexpensive computer
monitors.
The new Escort comes complete with a thru-hull or transom mount transducer
using Interphase’s pioneering and phased array technology. The small transducer
has no moving parts and installation is easy. The Escort also includes a sonar
module, remote keypad with 10’ of cable and 10’ VGA and video connection cables.
This powerful and affordable sonar also has a full set of useful features
including Auto Range, Auto Gain, Forward Range Expansion, Down and Forward
Alarms, NMEA Depth Output, NMEA GPS Input, Keel Offset and choice of Sunlight,
Day or Night Color Palettes.

Scanning vertically from just below the surface to directly beneath the boat,
the powerful Escort can detect changing bottom conditions up to several hundred
feet beyond your boat and can scour the depths up to 600 feet below your keel.
An easy to use remote keypad allows optimum adjustments and an optional external
alarm can be set to warn of upcoming obstructions or shallowing conditions. The
affordable Escort works in partnership with the ships radar to show the world
both above and below the water.
