Bluetooth SIG 5.0 certification Indicates NVIDIA Shield 2019 Device (again)

Bluetooth SIG 5.0 certification Indicates NVIDIA Shield 2019 Device (again)

Over the past year or so we've mentioned that NVIDIA might be working on a new Shield series. Their Android TV-based media streaming devices have been quite successful ever since its first release, and still ongoing as NVIDIA still is updating them.

Lots of people either like or dislike the Shield series from NVIDIA. Personally, I have two of them as kids like to simply game stream or use the Android TV functionality. Next, to that, these are excellent media boxes supporting Ultra HD and HDR on all complex color gamut standards as well as proper HD audio passthrough. As mentioned a while ago, there might be something new brewing. A while ago two new code already have been spotted in the codebase. Two mysterious accessories called 'Stormcaster' and 'Friday' have been listed. The names are associated with a new Shield controller and remote control. And if that happens, Nvidia likely also has a new Shield in the works.

 

 

Then July 26th, 2019 - the NVIDIA Corporation SHIELD Android TV Game Console P3430 has surfaced at FCC, so once again it looked like NVIDIA indeed is working on a new revision. Mentioned a while ago was a new Tegra X1 T210 B01-SoC. This is a chip with four Cortex A57 and four A53 copies. Reportedly, the same Tegra X1 SoC could also be found in the updated Switch and Switch Lite from Nintendo.

This week however yet another Shield 2019 new entry was spotted, this round a Shield Android TV console received Bluetooth SIG 5.0 certification. So yes, perhaps a new Android box seems to be approaching. Thinking outside the box for a second, combine it all with specifications like the Tegra X1 processor, Bluetooth 5.0, 4K HDR compatibility (already supported btw), WiFi 6, USB-C, Android 10, and NVIDIA would have yet another successful Android TV console here.

If it comes with Dolby Vision and updated WiFi I'd probably replace my original for elsewhere. I'm not really sure what else they'd do though - especially since it's still using same SoC - perhaps a built in external microphone for voice? I use a harmony remote and it would be nice to directly do voice for searches and stuff. The spot was supposed to come out years ago but I guess they ended up cancelling it.

How about finally supporting playing back frame-packed native Bluray 3D format for once ever? I have Bluray 3D rips in this original native format and the hardware in the current Shield 2017 cannot play it back at all. It was a serious omission from previous one done for either political or hardware based reasons. Lots of poeple wanting it for years and NVidia would only say "we are not supporting 3D playback". Lots of much cheaper, shittier media players support this format... but not the supposedly greatest Shield...

I'm not a fan of 3D but I could see wanting support for it if you like it. I didn't realize it didn't support it tbh.

Yes I have a lot of 3D blurays... and would like to be able to play them from PLEX the same as all other normal Blurays on media server.

When it works... the special HDMI signal tells the projector/TV to go into actual page flipping 3D mode. Not like all the fake 3D formats which do nothing to signal and only operate at half resolution... MVC 3D runs both eyes at Full HD resolution. My Sony projector in 3D mode then signals the 3D LCD glasses to operate at synchronized frequency.

3D is mostly shit on any TV - it only really works on giant projected screen.

There's tons of threads on shield forums asking them for it... and they always refused... always presumed it was a hardware limitation and they were making excuses around this.

I love my shield TV but damn I wish they would reboot the tablet as well I have the 2015 Tablet and it would be great if it got a reboot and come out with an upgraded version of it as well.
