Show and Tell: TinyTV 2 and TinyTV Mini!

We go hands-on with TinyCircuits' two new miniature TV kits, the TinyTV 2 and TinyTV Mini! These working video players are a wonder in miniaturization--the TinyTV 2 sporting a much higher resolution on its 1-inch display and the mini with a screen smaller than a microSD card. They're a showcase of the TinyCircuits family of compact arduino-compatible boards, and quick and easy way to put a small video screen in your props or miniature builds.

Dollhouses around the world are going to be pimped out now

I always feel the little kid in me when I watch these videos. ☺️. Thank you Norm and Adam for all this content. Always interesting and fun.

[Rod-msmu]

absolutely loved that the whole video was on the tiny tvs! Stay awesome Norm 😎

[licensetodrive]

So cute! Dolls house owners & creators must be loving this!

[StereoMonkey]

I wonder if they ever thought to have a little concave glass front over the screen to give it that true CRT curvature look of old TV's

Tiny Circuits are great, I brought a Thumby when they had the Kickstarter last year.
It's a really impressive bit of engineering to produce something so small and yet fully functional, this looks no different 🙂

With the TinyTV II, I went right to a Star Trek (original series) tricorder w/ flip-up display head. It'd be fun to see a working version of that!

[ryan_j_peck]

Haha, cool. This level of miniaturization always amazes me.

[geraldcampbell]

This is really cool and there are lots of classic TV shows that are now in the public domain that you can download and play on this thing!

In the mid-1980s, I had a TV watch. Was awesome. Display was watch face. Receiver connected to watch with wire and was the size of an iPhone, more or less.

[Taijifufu]

The Mini is almost the size of the USB-C port. I love it.

[Gman]

Love these, contemporary nostalgia feels.

[Zeaiclies]

I really can't wait to finish my fully functional Warehouse 13 Farnsworth communicator.

Love the Kaine idea from Robocop 2

[peterkelley]

This is just ... crazy. And Norm pulled it off. WOW

[TheRealAlpha]

I first saw one of these on the Crafsman's channel last year (I think?) it's wild to see how much they've expanded the line up in a short time. Though I'm surprised at the choice to use AVI when it seems like such an abandoned format these days. Are they trying to match the era of the tvs?

[azrael]

This reminds me of the Mobiblu Cube 1-2.

Miss you Kim. RIP.

[lobelliot]

i've never jumped to a kickstarter page so fast. JUUUUST missed the early bird price but happy to support them anyway!

[rubblereport]

Love the presentation Norm, that's how ya do it!

[BakerPeter]

Love my TinyTV, so glad you featured it.

[j.robertsergertson]

OMG ! They gotta make a" Philco
Predicta " tiny Tv, it would be ultra retro
