gahhh.. typo      "International" power plug converter.. since its obviously gonna be fitted with a US power plug right

On top of the original Shield controller for playing games, mine came free with their remote.

Anyway, I still use a wireless mouse / keyboard combo. Sometimes the mouse does not scroll properly at Shield's main menu. I have to use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll and navigate to the apps below and then press Enter key.

hi bro, my unit doesnt come with a free remote unfortunately.. and it cost USD50 for the remote excluding transport charges.
Do you mind pm me where you bought yours and for how much ?

I believe one can just use a passive adapter for the Malaysian power sockets, seeing as the main power adapter is rated to accept between 100 -  220v, 1.2A.

IMO.. The Nvidia ships with a controller but not the remote (Yeah, Nvidia..  ).. Since the remote isn't that great and you'll still need to augment it, best to skip buying the traditional remote and get a much better one instead.. Keyboard + Touchpad/Mouse combo..  Save cost.. Those can be bought locally..

No worries. Mine only came with US type adapter. Just like vocrane mentioned, use a passive adapter to convert to Malaysian plug.

In fact, I used a multi 2 pin adapter plug to plug my other 2 pin power plugs as well as Nvidia's. Ngam ngam fit. 


It's 2.1A, 40W.

Yes, mine was on promo with free remote thrown in. If not wrong, it was from B&H Photo.
It's true. Stylish, yes but the remote is not very functional. If you have to buy the remote, I suggest to skip it. The wireless keyboard / mouse is a better investment.

i bought my shield TV come with free remote too....as for the game controller, i still keep it at the box. love the remote due to it simplicity & accurate voice recognition. Logitech K400 Plus will be my next best option if i don't use the remote.

Wah! Thanks for the heads up! i forgot i am getting my unit from US which will definitely require an adapter.

Will have to look for this.

Another thing: i read somewhere (sos: http://whatplug.info/from/usa/to/malaysia) that the voltage may not be complient ? anyone faced any issue with voltage so far? meed transformer ??

Clicking the whatplug link returns a 404 error..  Nope, the Shield box doesnt require a transformer.. Just an adapter.. See image posted above by jchue73.. Meanwhile, found this floating around; a picture of the power brick. Accepts 100 - 240v (in)..

any android box can do hevc 10bit (or if possible, h264 hi10p) that can be have Openelec image?

any android box can do hevc 10bit (or if possible, h264 hi10p) that can be have Openelec image?

i am curious about this hi10p and 10 bit.

a couple of people have asked before.

what is hi10p, what videos come in this format?

where is it commonly found? movies, games or home cameras?
at this time, i only know even the most advanced android box nividia shield does not have it.

will be good to know more what may come next...

Hi10P (also called "10-bit") is a profile of the h.264 video codec. It has recently become popular in the anime scene for video encodes. The first stable version with Hi10P support is v12 (Frodo). As of v13 (Gotham), Kodi will automatically use multi-thread (multi-core) software video decoding for Hi10P videos, allowing for better performance on low-end processors.
Hardware requirements

Hi10P won't work on most ARM or even some Intel ATOM processors. Hi10P can't be hardware decoded (which is to say, no one currently makes hardware decoders for them and no company plans to add Hi10P hardware decoding in the foreseeable future), which is what a lot of low-power devices require for smooth video playback (such as the Raspberry-Pi, Android, ATOM processors, and some AMD APU systems). Thus, Hi10P requires CPU/software decoding.

A safe bet would be at least a Core 2 Duo/Celeron G530 processor (or equivalent AMD) or higher.

Some (most?) ARM processors are not powerful enough to software decode it, and no hardware decoders exist for it. As faster ARM CPUs come out this will get better, but don't expect miracles from the average Android box.
