Reasons to purchase NVIDIA's SHIELD has gone through a variety of product types, including handhelds, tablets, and this TV box. In fact, long-term want to buy SHIELD, the most important reason should be to play streaming games and some publicity TX1-based smart function research. Before SHIELD was not licensed, if you buy an overseas version to activate fanqiang. It has long been heard that SHIELD will be introduced into the country. However, this news seems to have been passed for a long time. It has finally become a reality today, and the Bank of China’s pricing is also more conscience, so it has directly placed orders for JD. Appearance Gallery The SHIELD of the Bank of China is almost the same as the overseas version. It only has the logo of the iQiyi in the lower right corner of the box. In addition, the Bank of China does not currently have a large version of the pro. The core selling point of this product I think is to use the NVIDIA TX1 processor, its floating-point computing capability to 1 Teraflops, is an ideal embedded solution for many robots, artificial intelligence products. The official development version of this processor is also 299 US dollars, while the National Bank's machine as long as 1499 yuan, I guess there are already many developers have the idea of ​​playing this product. In fact, I have this intention to buy this product. But today we do not talk about secondary development, or from the experience of the product itself. Open the package up and down two layers, the first layer SHIELD host and remote control. References comparison The upper part of the mainframe is a geometric collision of a bright surface and a matte surface, and there is also an embedded green light strip, which has a sense of science and technology. Behind the fuselage two USB ports, a HDMI port, a network port, a power port, the other part is a cooling hole. The reverse side of the fuselage is also irregularly shaped and has cooling holes. The top of the remote control is the arrow keys, below is the Android back key and the main menu key, the remote control holding part also has a volume adjustment bar for sliding touch operation. The second layer of the packaging box is the power adapter and gamepad. The layout of the handle is like a PS button mounted on the handle of the XBOX, and between the two joysticks is a touch adjustment of the volume. At the bottom of the handle there are also return, play, and menu keys. Because the handle grip is composed of a large number of triangular shapes, it is very different from the traditional handle, and it is a very sensational experience. The feel of the joystick and buttons is similar to that of the XBOX standard. The top of the handle also has LT1, LT2, RT1, RT2 buttons, and there is also a micro USB charging port in the middle. There is a headphone connector in the middle of the handle. Han-wide foundry wide voltage adapter, output 19V 2.1A, uses a replaceable plug design, but the machine only has a two-phase power plug. Another connection with the host is a unique rectangular power connector. There is also a micro USB charging cable. Power on Power on, the top green light will light up. Open the opportunity to display the logo of NVIDIA and iQIYI. Initial use will have an operation guide and activate the login process. You can sign up or log in using an iQIGI account, and you can't log in using an NVIDIA account. After the login, Kiwi VIP members will be presented for three months. However, it is interesting to note that the app is not a pre-installed application and needs to be downloaded and installed on its own. Starting the system for the first time will upgrade the host system. After the upgrade is complete, you can officially use it. It is recommended to watch the user guide video first. The first time you connect the control device, it will also update the remote controller and gamepad. Game experience New users who purchase an activation before March 5, 2018 will receive a Legend 5 game. Download speed is good, my home 100M fiber can be basically full speed download. At present, there are not many games in the game store, about twenty or thirty, most of which are paid games, and prices range from a few bucks to tens of bucks. Let's first experience the gift of the legendary swordsman biography five. The quality of the picture and the number of geometric shapes felt at the level of the XBox 360, and the overall operation was smooth and smooth. Another free game, wild car eight, the quality is not too good, I feel it is the PS2 later standards. 1942bd8658538f545205f5d1e.jpg" /> There is also a free game Dungeon Hunter. The game always prompts me that I have no internet connection and cannot enter the game, but my network is good, that is, what is the ghost of the game? Game streaming Another very important feature is NVIDIA's game streaming. However, using this feature for the first time is not smooth. In the same LAN, all devices are wired, and SHIELD has never been able to find my NVIDIA 1080TI-equipped PC. In the process, I tried to restart the device, restart the PC, and restart the router, but nothing helped. Later I called Nvidia's customer service phone. After listening to my instructions, customer service could not give an accurate solution. But gave me a few suggestions: First, reinstall GEFORCE EXPERIENCE. Second, close all firewalls, including windows and others. Third, uninstall or close third-party security software. After I did all these three things, I was able to connect successfully. I'm not sure which one or more combination of the above measures solves this problem. If you have encountered the same problem, you can try these three methods. In particular, it should be emphasized that Nvidia's telephone service is the best customer service I have ever approached. And feel that these customer service is not in mainland China, a standard Hong Kong and Taiwan Lin Chi-ling cavity. It will communicate with you very meticulously, give advice and solutions to the problem, communicate for a long time without any rush or perfunctory feeling, really like it. If you are interested, you might as well try the Nvidia 400 phone to see if it feels the same way. After SHIELD searches for a PC with Nvidia graphics card, it will give a digital code. After entering this number on the PC side, the pairing between PC and SHIELD is completed. All subsequent games identified in GEFORCE EXPERIENCE will appear in the SHIELD game list. Each game will indicate which resolution stream the game can use and support several handles. For example, in Battlefield I, it is possible to stream in 4k resolution and support HDR features. About application There is currently less content in the onboard app store Galaxy Kiwi and VLC players must be installed. SHIELD supports the installation of APPs from USB flash drives, so there is no need to worry about the source of the application. There is a strong TX1 blessing, decoding 4K and Blu-ray RIP without stress. summary As the NVIDIA's first son, SHIELD is high hopes. With the potential of TX1, I think there should be more games and applications to follow. advantage: 1. Both the host and the matching handles and remote controls have excellent industrial designs. 2. With NVIDIA series graphics, it can provide up to 4K HDR game streaming experience. 3. The hardware function is powerful, the local game and all kinds of high-definition decoding have no pressure, and they are also looking forward to the subsequent AI landing. 4. Telephone customer service is the best customer service I have ever encountered. insufficient: At present, content in application stores and game stores is still relatively thin. The potential of TX1 has not yet been tapped. If there is a wider audience, it is estimated that there will be more interesting applications.
