Nvidia Shield Pro supported streaming file codec
As an embedded system, the codec involves NVIDIA signing licensing deals. For example, support for Dolby Digital / Dolby Digital Plus requires deals with Dolby Laboratories, while DTS / DTS-HD support requires deals with DTS. On the video side, H.264 support, for example, requires a deal with MPEG-LA. Each of these deals ends up increasing the end cost for the consumer. In order to hit an acceptable price point while ensuring all necessary components for OTT streaming (SHIELD’s primary market) are in place, NVIDIA has signed deals for the following audio/video codecs only:
– H.264
– H.265
– VP9
– Dolby Digital (Update: only bitstreaming, no internal decode to PCM)
