NMEA 2000 devices connect your vessel’s central N2K backbone cable, which provides both power and data communication. This shared network enables seamless data exchange, allowing a Roku device to display diverse instrument readings and facilitating collaborative instrument functionality. The ‘plug and play’ nature of NMEA 2000, combined with Actisense Wi-Fi/Ethernet gateways, ensures connectivity to your Roku device. Transform your existing onboard displays into smart Roku TVs.
