Use Your Tablet as a Game Console
Console Mode transforms your SHIELD tablet into a full gaming and entertainment experience on your HDTV. In Console
Mode, you can do everything that you would normally do on your device. Your TV provides the display, and you navigate
with a keyboard and mouse or with a game controller. Play Android games, browse the web, check your e-mail, and
watch your favorite movies.
NOTE
When in your device is in Console Mode, the apps, menu, browser, and optimized Android games
play back at native 1080p resolution. However, some Android games are not optimized for 1080p.
Console Mode requires the following hardware:
• Cable. A Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable.
• HDTV. An HDTV with HDMI support.
• Controller. A Bluetooth wireless controller or keyboard and mouse. NVIDIA
recommends the NVIDIA SHIELD Controller.
How to Connect Your Device to an HDTV
Console Mode opens automatically when you connect your device to an HDTV.
1. Connect a wireless controller or a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. For more
information, see NVIDIA SHIELD controller or Using Bluetooth Accessories.
2. Insert the cable's Mini-HDMI connector into the Mini-HDMI port of your device.
3. Insert the cable's HDMI connector into an HDMI port on your HDTV.
4. At the SHIELD Console Mode prompt, select Enter Console Mode.
NOTE If you experience loss of details in the dark areas and increased color contrast when playing in Console
Mode via HDMI, you might have mismatched color range settings on your device and TV. You can
correct this issue by changing the setting in Settings > HDMI > Color Correction preset from "Native
(default)" to "sRGB."
How to Record and Share Your Gameplay
You can record your gameplay to a video file and share the video through email, YouTube, and other sharing methods.
The video captures everything that you do on your tablet, including browsing incognito or logging into your mobile banking
app. Pay attention to what you are doing while you record and do not share any video that shows personal information.
The first time you turn on your tablet, the Notifications shade includes a notification for Record and Share. Tap this
notification to view a quick start guide to recording and sharing your gameplay.
