Tegra X1+ streaming player

The NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro is a 4K HDR media streamer built on the Tegra X1+ processor with 3 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. It targets viewers who want Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support alongside AI-enhanced upscaling for 720p and 1080p content. The device runs Android 9.0 with Chromecast 4K built-in and includes a remote with microphone, motion-activated backlit buttons and an IR blaster.

Simple HDMI and USB setup

Connect the player via HDMI 2.0b with HDCP 2.2 and CEC, then add power from the 40 W adapter. Two USB 3.0 ports accept flash drives or hard drives to expand the 16 GB storage. The remote pairs over Bluetooth 5.0 and the Gigabit Ethernet port provides a wired alternative to 802.11ac 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi. A missing stand is the only common omission; the unit sits flat without it.

Sustained 4K HDR playback

The 256-core GPU maintains up to 4K HDR at 60 FPS for HEVC streams and 4K at 60 FPS for VP9, H.264 and MPEG formats. AI upscaling processes 720p and 1080p sources to 4K at up to 30 FPS without throttling. High-resolution audio passes through at 24-bit/192 kHz over HDMI and USB during long sessions. The compact chassis stays within typical 5-10 W consumption under continuous load.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the SHIELD TV Pro is delivering 4K HDR at 60 FPS after setup?

Play a Dolby Vision or HDR10 title from a supported app; the on-screen display should show 4K resolution at 60 FPS and the TV's info banner will confirm HDR is active.

What accessories are included and which must be purchased separately?

The box contains the SHIELD TV Pro unit, SHIELD Remote with voice microphone and IR blaster, 40 W power adapter, and documentation. The SHIELD TV stand is sold separately.

Should I choose the 16 GB model or look for a larger internal storage version?

This model provides 16 GB of internal storage with a portion used by the system; additional space is added through the two USB 3.0 ports using flash drives or hard drives.
