Embodiments of an avionic media system (130) are provided, as are embodiments of an actuated media docking station (20). In one embodiment, the avionic media system (130) includes an actuated media docking station (20) and an onboard electronic device (142). The actuated media docking station (20) includes, in turn, a housing assembly (24), a mass media device ("MMD") receptacle (22) coupled to the housing assembly (24), a connector (68) configured to interface with an MMD (26) when inserted into the MMD receptacle (22), and an actuator (28) coupled to the housing assembly (24) and to the MMD receptacle (22). The actuator (28) moves the MMD receptacle (22) between: (i) a loading position in which the MMD (26) can be inserted into the MMD receptacle (22), and (ii) a retaining position in which removal of the MMD (26) from the MMD receptacle (22) is physically obstructed. |
