tvONE C3-310 CORIOmatrix mini – Universal I/O 1RU Scaling Matrix Ro...
Product Overview
The tvONE CORIOmatrix mini C3-310 is a compact 1RU modular matrix router designed for mixed-format AV signal routing in space-constrained commercial installations. It ships with 2 DVI inputs and 5 open card slots, configurable with any combination of DVI, Universal DVI, HDBaseT, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and 4K HDMI modules across 12+ available I/O types. The C3-310 delivers the same CORIO scaling technology found in the full-size CORIOmatrix C3-340, providing low-latency up/down/cross conversion, glitch-free switching, integrated audio routing, and custom resolution support up to 4K — all in a 1RU rack-mount enclosure. It is HDCP compliant, TAA compliant, and operates at 37.7 dB(A) at normal temperatures, making it suitable for in-room AV rack deployments.
Product Description
The CORIOmatrix mini C3-310 provides the core capabilities of a universal AV matrix router in a 1RU chassis, including per-output CORIO2 scaling with up/down/cross conversion, dynamic aspect ratio conversion between 4:3 and 16:9, and glitch-free or fade-through-black switching. It handles mixed signal environments including composite video, YC (S-Video), YPbPr component, analog RGB, DVI, HDMI (with HDCP), HDBaseT (up to 100m via RJ-45), and 3G/HD/SD-SDI through its modular I/O slots. The unit ships with 2 Universal DVI inputs installed; all additional modules — including output scaler modules — must be ordered separately, allowing AV integrators to configure each unit precisely for the application.
Audio routing is built in, supporting 48kHz PCM digital/analog pass-through, SDI and HDMI de-embed and re-embed via Universal DVI scaler modules, and an optional external audio module with AES breakout. Control options include RS-232 (D9 female), IP via RJ-45, and a web browser UI, plus a command-line interface for third-party system integration. Free Crestron and AMX control modules are available from tvONE's support portal. An optional monitoring output module allows multi-input preview for source verification. The CORIOdiscover application is included for network auto-discovery, firmware updates, and custom resolution creation. The C3-310 carries a 5-year parts and labor warranty and is regulatory compliant (FCC, CE, RoHS).

Frequently Asked Questions
What AV control systems does the C3-310 CORIOmatrix mini integrate with?
The CORIOmatrix mini supports Crestron and AMX control via free plug-in modules available from tvONE's support portal. It also provides RS-232, TCP/IP, a web browser UI, and a command-line interface for direct integration with any third-party control system. The CORIOmatrix command reference document is available from tvONE's downloads library for custom programming.
What is included with the C3-310, and what needs to be ordered separately?
The C3-310 ships with 2 Universal DVI inputs pre-installed and 5 open card slots. All additional I/O modules — including output scaler modules, additional input modules, and any optional audio or monitoring modules — must be ordered and installed separately. Creation Networks can assist with module selection based on specific source and display requirements.
What SDI signal standards does the C3-310 support?
The C3-310 supports SMPTE 259M-C (SD-SDI at 270 Mbps), SMPTE 292M (HD-SDI at 1.485/1.4835 Gbps for 720p, 1035i, 1080i, 1080p), and SMPTE 424M (3G-SDI at 2.97/2.967 Gbps for 1080p60) through optional BNC input and output modules. SDI audio follows SMPTE 272M-2004 (SD-SDI, 4 stereo 24-bit channels) and SMPTE 299M-2004 (3G/HD-SDI).
Is the C3-310 quiet enough for conference room or boardroom installation?
Yes. The C3-310 operates at 37.7 dB(A) at ambient temperatures between 0–35°C, which is appropriate for in-room rack installations in conference rooms, boardrooms, and huddle spaces. Fan speed increases to a maximum of 50.6 dB(A) at 40°C under heavy load or high ambient temperature conditions.
Does the C3-310 support routing protected HDMI content?
Yes. The CORIOmatrix mini is HDCP compliant, allowing protected HDMI content (such as from HDCP-encrypted sources) to be routed through the matrix to HDCP-compliant displays via Universal DVI or HDBaseT output modules.
How does the C3-310 CORIOmatrix mini differ from the C3-340 CORIOmatrix?
The C3-310 is a 1RU chassis with 6 total slots (2 pre-installed + 5 open) and a maximum of 125 watts, suited for smaller installations or space-constrained racks. The C3-340 is a 4RU chassis with 16 slots, scales to 32 ports, and handles up to 300 watts for larger, higher-density commercial AV deployments. Both share the same CORIO2 scaling technology and I/O module ecosystem.
What is the warranty on the C3-310 CORIOmatrix mini?
tvONE provides a 5-year parts and labor warranty on the C3-310. The unit is FCC, CE, and RoHS certified and TAA compliant for government procurement.
