Set Ready to use to achieve your Media Center. Use the last 3 Raspberry Pi model B combined with OSMC operating system (Open Source Media Center). OSMC the operating system is able to manage the hardware (remote controls, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, keyboards ...), manage system resources and integrates an update system that allows you to always have the latest version .
OSMC also integrates Kodi, an open source program for managing a complete media center or home theater PC initially created for the Xbox and today also available for Raspberry Pi. Kodi is the successor to the Xbox Media Player (XBMP) with a graphical interface and a core renewed by the dell'XBMP developers.
The package includes: 3 Raspberry Pi Type B, a micro SD card HC 8GB with the operating system (OSMC) ready for use, plastic housing, switching power supply 5 V - 3 A with cable and micro USB connector, HDMI cable 1, 5 meters.

The benefits of having this Media Center instead of a Smart TV are manifold
|
- You can play most of the video formats, images and music thanks to the easily installed codec.
- You have the option to install the sources from which you can download programs, about 30,000 and continue to grow.
- Allows integration with social networks.
- The sharing of files within the network through an HTTP server.
- Being based on Linux you can make him perform tasks or execute normally used on Linux applications, you can also manage it through the command line.
- It is completely manageable remotely via ssh.
- It is compatible with mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
- The system is fully customizable to suit you.
- It allows us to use the GPIO pins of the Raspberry, very useful if we want to use them to make some project with IR LED, other ways to interact with Raspberry or projects like ambi light fully supported by OSMC.
