- Pi clusters are used in professional audio processing units like the Orban Optimod 5000-series.
- The Orban Optimod 5000-series includes a 3-node Raspberry Pi cluster and costs between $6,000-15,000.
- Each Pi in the cluster has a specific role: remote control/web UI, audio processing, and optional audio watermarking.
- Using Raspberry Pi CM4/CM5 modules simplifies design and ensures long-term vendor support.
- Many high-end media devices at NAB 2025 had Pis integrated for Linux and remote control functionality.
