Announcing the Exciting Features of NVIDIA Shield Experience Upgrade 9.2

The NVIDIA Shield TV has long been a powerhouse in streaming and gaming, known for its high performance, AI-enhanced upscaling, and seamless integration with top entertainment platforms.

But just when you thought it couldn’t get better, NVIDIA released Shield Experience Upgrade 9.2—packed with groundbreaking features that elevate your viewing and gaming experience.

So, what’s new?

Think: 3D immersive audio, smoother gameplay, refined parental controls, and essential security upgrades—and that’s just scratching the surface. Some of these updates are true game-changers.

Let’s explore what’s inside Shield Experience 9.2 and how to get the most out of your NVIDIA Shield TV.

1. Next-Level Immersive Audio with AURO-3D

A game-changer for audiophiles.

What is AURO-3D?

AURO-3D is a next-gen 3D audio format that adds vertical height and spatial depth to your sound. Unlike Dolby Atmos (which places sound objects in a 3D space), AURO-3D builds immersive layers—making it feel like audio is coming from above, around, and even below you.

How to Use AURO-3D on Shield TV:

• Connect your Shield TV Pro to an AURO-3D-compatible receiver
• Stream AURO-3D content from supported apps like Artist Connection
• Enjoy high-resolution, theater-quality sound in your own home

Why it matters: If you’re passionate about music or home theater, this is a whole new level of immersion.

  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

2. Match Frame Rate (Beta):

• This feature syncs your TV’s refresh rate with the game’s frame rate to reduce lag and eliminate stuttering.

Why it matters: Whether you’re cloud gaming or sideloading titles, your Shield TV now performs closer to a premium gaming console.

3. Refined Audio and Video Enhancements

This update improves every second of your viewing and listening experience.

Audio:

• Match Audio Content Resolution: When using a USB DAC, audio will now play in the original resolution—ensuring full fidelity for audiophiles.
