The new Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 gaming consoles have been out a couple of months and if you were lucky enough to pick one up and also own an NVIDIA Shield TV you’ll be glad to learn that you can now connect your new gaming controllers. That’s right, the best little Android streamer now supports your DualSense controller and Xbox Series X/S gamepads.
The Shield TV runs the latest version of Node.js on top of an array of hardware components culled from a variety of OEM and component makers. According to NVIDIA, the latest version 2.1 release has boosted a year's worth of software updates.
As a result the Shield TV has the latest and greatest Codec2 license, S-Video mode support, SLI support for Nvidia SHIELD Media players, a proprietary DSP, and native MultiPocket quirks, features and decorations all available on variant Tegra Android TV devices powered by TegraZone.
The Shield TV has a dual-core Tegra X1 processor with two NVIDIA K1 GPU cores handling graphics while the Mediatek MT8173a SoC runs MediaTek's MT6592 dual-core. NVIDIA did confirm the Shield TV supports Live Tiles, was initially designed to work with NVIDIA SHIELD TV, and would get you a nice spin on a variety of status views and notifications while both played video:
The slot for the Xbox One controller and Pro Controller provides just enough space for them and also rules out the possibility of sharing of a few extra haptic elements from Sony’SDK’ that only NVIDIA can provide (perhaps if they're cooking up something else for the Shield TV or Android TV then…)
NVIDIA says the second SDK will allow third-party engines to take advantage of a wide range of advanced capabilities such as Direct 3D and Nvidia® Cuda™ accelerators to deliver even better on-device various kinds of graphics. Given the initial evaluation seems to have worked fine, that seems like an extra plus for device manufacturers to consider ahead of PAX East (which they passed up in their announcement).
I'll be speaking with developers as soon as I get a chance to use them so hopefully I'll have more on that in a bit. What, and where, do you guys play the Xbox and PlayStation games on your NVIDIA Shield TV?
Earlier today, Under Armour has concluded an agreement to sell its footwear segment to Adidas, a manufacturer which since last summer has bought out a majority interest in running shoes company Reebok.
Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank is joining Adidas management after a heavy investment in the Dutch manufacturer to create a new California base for the equipment maker and a 500-person staff increase.
Each man will be tasked with merging his interest in the West Coast company into the worldwide sports brand that last week reported its best three month sales as it continues to expand internationally.
