Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Nvidia Shield AI upscaling say unsupported on IPTV?
AI-Enhanced upscaling only supports progressive video at 30fps or lower; 50fps/60fps sports exceed the AI hardware threshold.
Does turning off AI upscaling ruin picture quality?
No, the Shield's standard 'Enhanced' upscaler is exceptionally sharp and ensures 100% fluid motion on live sports.
What is the best decoder setting for Nvidia Shield in TiviMate?
Always use Hardware Video Decoder (MediaCodec) for Tegra X1+ hardware acceleration.
