If the NVIDIA SHIELD TV hasn’t already prompted you to do so, then you’ll probably want to be spamming that update button, since there’s a sweet package waiting for you. NVIDIA just pushed out an update to bring the device to Marshmallow.
In addition to Marshmallow, this latest update introduces the new Vulkan graphics API, which enhances the gaming experience on the NVIDIA SHIELD TV.
The Vulkan API provides highly efficient, low-level access to modern graphics hardware, such as the Maxwell GPU in SHIELD Android TV. Vulkan has been created by experts from across the industry working together at the Khronos Group — an open standards consortium.
The Android Marshmallow update brings:
Upgradable storage and home screen customization
Quick access to the power menu on the homescreen by long pressing the “Back” button
Seamless switching between surround sound and headset audio in Netflix app
Wireless support for SHIELD controller when charging via USB, including headset audio and voice search
Improved color support for YUV 4:2:0 video playback
Option to set 1080p 60Hz resolution on Ultra HD TVs
Option to set RGB Full Range via Settings > HDMI > Dynamic Range
Improved support for Denon receivers and CEC volume control for more audio receivers
The OTA is rolling out as we speak, so be sure to check for updates in the settings area.
