Using the Raspberry Pi for a multimedia center on your boat

Conclusion

The Raspberry Pi proved an ideal extension to the electronics that were already on board the boat (Figure 4). It is possible to play back a program from terrestrial broadcasting on the television and also watch high-resolution films when using something like the Matroschka format. Those who want to listen to music can plug a USB stick containing the desired files into a Raspberry Pi and sit back and listen. The Grundig TV has a surprisingly good audio tone in spite of its small size.
