I am currently looking at using the raspberry pi B+ in a business environment. The idea is to have 50 of these connected to LED screens repeating a series of messages for 10-17 hours per day. They will be on every day and store the messages in MP4 format on the SD card. They will be updated every two weeks buy inserting a USB stick with new information that gets automatically transferredacross. (ethernet cable if we advance).
The pi has had all unused items removed and is not overclocked.
There are a lot of people in the business that like this idea however i am getting some who say the Raspberry is a low cost development board that can't cope; and will cost more compared to a custom built device. ( i have had the pilot running for 11 months no issues)
This is a general discussion as to people views on using a development board in this way as i never have before, and if anyone has done something similar.
I think this will work and the raspberry can take the challenge.
