00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:07,040
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:11,360
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,960
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:24,640
is guys we're hands on with Project Shield this is NVIDIA's new handheld

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:30,160
gaming system based on Android based on the Tegra processing technology and we

6
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:35,160
are going to Showcase what I think on the internets right now is the biggest

7
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:38,239
Buzz about this particular little gaming console because we've all got phones at

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,000
this point that we carry around we can play games on a touchcreen but where do

9
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:47,079
you get the integrated uh the integrated controller and where do you get the

10
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:52,840
ability to stream from a GeForce graphics card powered PC so sorry what

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:58,199
was your name again James James is going to show us how this technology works

12
00:00:55,239 --> 00:01:03,480
with a live demo yes this is a you know as a said already unprecedented use case

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:08,240
no one's done this before we all have really powerful PCS at our homes and our

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,560
PC Gamers anyway and we want to be able to play that more than just sitting on

15
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,759
our desk so here you'll be able to connect through this and the picture

16
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:20,840
will be rendered on your PC and then beamed over as h.264 video onto the uh

17
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:25,640
NVIDIA Shield handheld so the interface is actually very simple you can see you

18
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:31,600
just press the mid button here and uh now you can see which PCS you can pair

19
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:35,880
to here we have Jensen's PC our CEOs thank you for donating that Jensen and

20
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,360
we just connect to it and it says it's connected now you have this very very

21
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,000
simple interface where you can select all of your most favorite PC games

22
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:46,759
imagine playing Battlefield 3 you know sitting on the couch instead of you know

23
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:52,200
tied to your computer desk so we can launch for example the Speed Most

24
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:55,840
Wanted and uh over so can I get you to explain something really quick this

25
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:00,079
cable coming out of the back of the unit that is not anything to do with the

26
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,960
gaming experience you're having here screen is that correct we're at CS it's

27
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:07,200
a lot of Wi-Fi noise so we to make sure we have good uh good reception we're

28
00:02:05,479 --> 00:02:11,840
just going with Ethernet right now but we can do this wirelessly at home that's

29
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:15,640
the intended use case at home you're going to be using a Wi-Fi connection and

30
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:18,840
so long as you have a pretty good router and uh a pretty up- to- dat graphics

31
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,000
card you know the latency is going to be very good so in terms of ergonomics It's

32
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:28,800
s I would I would consider it to be sort of a good fit between being able to put

33
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,120
your ring fingers right up under the handle here so that you can easily

34
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,959
manage it with smaller hands I think the intended use is not just the traditional

35
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:42,840
audience of the hardcore Gamers that NVIDIA is catered to but I would expect kids to be using something like this

36
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:46,159
this will be so much more powerful that I mean especially someone like I mean

37
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:50,040
I've got a young kid I'd much rather get him something like this where he can

38
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,680
leverage the power P PC that I already have in my house I already bought it why

39
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:57,280
am I buying a game console that's not going to take advantage of it right so

40
00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:01,920
you know what you can use it like that but you look at how long these handles are your hands are actually

41
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:04,959
significantly bigger than my own so I'd like you to just hold it there and show

42
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,040
them how you can adjust your hand backwards on it so that you can easily

43
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,599
reach the controls regardless of the size of your hands the button layout is

44
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:14,640
pretty simple so for those of you who like the SNES controller you're going to

45
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,319
be able to use it just like that for those of you who like a more modern controller you can use it with the Dual

46
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,360
analog sticks there's the two shoulder buttons up on each side so you've got a

47
00:03:20,799 --> 00:03:25,360
trigger as well as a regular shoulder button and a headphone jack up here

48
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,000
we've got it plugged in using an Ethernet adapter and it looks like that

49
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:31,920
is is that a power connector as well so this is running off battery this is a

50
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,519
this is a makeshift that bracket would develop just for the Cs show one exists

51
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:41,680
so straight off there's an SD card slot micro HDMI and audio out so don't worry

52
00:03:39,959 --> 00:03:46,000
guys it's a lot more elegant than that uh these plates on the top are actually

53
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:51,009
interchangeable so I haven't I have not whoa okay I don't know I broke

54
00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:58,280
it there we go I'm probably going the wrong way at this

55
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:05,400
point so this green is running at what resolution 720 720p so this is an HD

56
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:11,480
gaming experience I mean that makes it pretty much close to something like a

57
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:13,400
retina display the size thre the density

58
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,639
speakers are awesome in fact I can even feel the vibration of the unit itself in

59
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:21,199
my hands does it have a built-in vibration or is that just the speakers

60
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:24,800
just the sound that's very very cool so start and back button are integrated

61
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,840
here and of course it is a full touch screen as well viewing angles I want to

62
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,000
get you guys a look at that because you can see looking at the yellow of the car

63
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:37,680
itself right there I'm just going to turn the volume down just oh there we go

64
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,440
turn the that's veryy intuitive actually see I didn't know how to do this um I

65
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:44,520
want you to see the yellow of the car as I tilted away from you so if you have a

66
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:48,199
friend sitting next to you they want to look over your shoulder as is bound to

67
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,320
happen with these kinds of really cool gadgets that other people want to check

68
00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:56,280
out they're going to be able to see it so um have I have we missed anything

69
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,520
critical no I think you've covered it tell me about the battery life battery

70
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,280
life we're looking about 5 to 10 hours of battery life playing a a Android

71
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:07,160
based game but if you're playing with streaming PC that's going to last even

72
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,880
longer because all you're doing is decoding video on the device uh all the

73
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:16,600
heavy lifting has been done on the PC and I think I can speak for everyone

74
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:22,039
when I say this is incredibly exciting but I'm actually even more excited for

75
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:26,080
something like a Gen 2 gen 3 Gen 5 product where we're going to be looking

76
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:30,440
at 1080P or even greater display resolutions we're going to be looking at

77
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,199
the ability to I mean this is this is

78
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:37,080
incredible this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship all right well thank you very

79
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:41,120
much and a big thanks to NVIDIA for allowing us to get in here and get

80
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,919
handson with Project Shield don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips don't miss
