TV Screen / Monitor for large plotter and DVD's integrated to Raymarine

[picardy]

I wonder if this is possible but am thinking of installing a multi purpose screen around 21-27 ". It would be used to play DVD's (or even act as a repeater for movies from an ipad via Apple TV) but also act as a repeater for my Raymarine ST60+ system (Wind, depth, speed etc) and C70 plotter.

If it can also show our position on a chart that would be great maybe with data from an NMEA wifi as I have a Seatlalk interface box behind the chart table panel.

Any advice or thoughts welcome on how this can be achieved.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know about interfacing to the Raymarine stuff, but this monitor is fantastic and has all the normal inputs: http://amzn.to/1qaUS7f (this is the brand new updated version of the model I have, looks identical).

Just read the reviews, both knocking it because it comes with a 2-pin plug. Numpties!

Has anyone tried to send the Navionics chart display out using a dv cable? If so you could run the Navionics on your iPhone and display the chart on a massive 20 inch display. Interesting.

I guess I could use the Navionics app on the ipad and set the ipad to project (via mirroring) onto the screen using the apple TV? An NMEA wifi adapter would also enable the sea talk data to be displayed in the same way using something like this https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/nmearemote/id412806204?mt=8

Would that work?

Apple TV would require a 230v mains feed but a DV out cable would be a direct connection. I'll try it next time we're in a marina.

It works quite well, for the display all you need an MFD with video out, I did it with a Garmin to a 21" TV, I expected poor resolution but was surprised at just how good it was.
