Nvidia still does not give up her Shield TV case, which benefits from a solid update

Deal Score0

We thought it was dead and buried by Nvidia (which has not yet to offer a new version since 2019), but the NVIDIA Shield TV multimedia box has just had a junk. The manufacturer has just pushed update 9.2 of the operating system based on Android TV turning its solution.

The last Rustine dated from October 2024, when the previous one dates back to July 2023. The first version of the Shield dating from 2015, Nvidia has just breathed the candle for the ten years of support for its machine.

Some new features and lots of fixes for the Nvidia Shield TV

However, the main novelty of this 9.2 update only concerns the Nvidia Shield TV Pro. This is now compatible with Auro3D audio technology, a competitor of Dolby Atmos and DTS: x. It will therefore be necessary to have a compatible decoder to be able to take advantage of this high resolution spatial sound via HDMI and the Shield.

In terms of improvements and new features, here is the full list:

Addition of support for the audio content resolution functionality when using a USB DAC
Addition of the possibility of removing the HDMI 1.4 flag via factory resetting
Improvement of the correspondence of the image frequency (beta)
Integration of parental control in French
Optimization of safety for reading 4K content protected by DRM

If a new bug is there, namely the withdrawal of the Shield TV from Google Home integration after update 9.2 (the instructions to resolve this are available on this page), here is finally the long list of bug corrections:
