Console Mode transforms your SHIELD tablet into a full gaming and entertainment
experience on your HDTV. In Console Mode, you can do everything that you would
normally do on your device. Your TV provides the display, and you navigate with a
keyboard and mouse or with a game controller. Play Android games, browse the web,
check your e-mail, and watch your favorite movies.
NOTE When in Console Mode, the apps, menu, browser, and optimized Android
games play back at native 1080p at up to 60 frames per second (fps). However, some
Android games are not optimized for 1080p at 60fps playback.
Console Mode requires the following hardware:
• Cable. A Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable.
• HDTV. An HDTV with HDMI support.
• Controller. A Bluetooth wireless controller or keyboard and mouse. NVIDIA
recommends the NVIDIA SHIELD Wireless Controller or the Nyko PlayPad
Pro.
