Minitiouner Hardware

The MiniTiouner, developed and designed by Jean-Pierre F6DZP, is a DVB-S/S2 USB receiver card and a measurement tool that works with the software "Minitioune".

BATC PCB

Brian G4EWJ has designed a PCB for the BATC to enable easy home construction of the MiniTiouner hardware - components for over 200 units have been sold around the world.

All the project documentation is available for download in the zip file:

File:MTK1 Instructions v1-9, Parts v5, Overlay, Schematic v1.zip

Colin G4KLB has done an excellent video on constructing the MiniTiouner:

When you have built your MiniTiouner, you can check it using the software "TestMyMiniTiouner" included in the Minitioune software package.

Compatible NIM types

Only NIMs ( Network Interface Module) or tuners that have the following STMicroelectronics chips can be used:

• Zero tuner chip can be STB6100, STV6110, STV6111, STV6120
• Demodulator chip STV0903, STV0913, STV0910

The following NIMs can be used:

• Eardatek EDS-4B47FF1B+ (sold by BATC shop during 2015 / 16)
• Sharp F7VZ0169 (sold by BATC shop during 2016)
• Samsung DNBU10711IST
• Samsung DNBU10512IST
• LG TDQX-S001F
• Serit SP2246
• Serit FTS-4335 (Sold by BATC shop in 2017)

Note - the NIM Serit FTS-4335 has a different pins configuration (40pins, not 26 pins) , so an adapter for "old pcbs" has been designed by Brian G4EWJ
