tvONE C3-540 CORIOmaster – Modular 4K Multi-Window 4RU Video Processor

Product Overview

The tvONE C3-540 CORIOmaster is a commercial-grade 4RU modular multi-window video wall processor designed for large-scale display installations requiring extensive I/O flexibility and multiple independent canvases. It supports up to 56 inputs and up to 56 outputs in a single 4RU chassis, making it one of the highest-density 4K video wall processors available for enterprise AV and large-venue deployments. Using tvONE's patented CORIO3 processing technology, the C3-540 enables AV integrators and system designers to position multiple video windows across LED walls, display-based video walls, and projector edge blends with full support for four independent video canvases. It is controlled through CORIOgrapher software, which provides a straightforward design interface for window placement, source assignment, transition effects, and preset management.

Product Description

The C3-540 CORIOmaster handles complex multi-source video wall installations by combining a modular I/O platform with CORIO3 processing that delivers 4K60 performance and up to 56 simultaneous outputs. AV system designers can configure the chassis with a mix of Universal DVI, HDMI, 4K HDMI, HDBaseT, SDI, and IP streaming input modules, along with matching scaled output modules, to match nearly any commercial AV signal environment. Up to 50 presets can be stored in the system and recalled via CORIOgrapher, control system API commands, or the free CORIOmaster mobile app available for iOS and Android. The Quad HDMI Input Module enables up to 56 sources from a single chassis, while the Dual 4K Output Module supports 4K60 output in clone or dual independent configurations.

The C3-540 supports live keying via the optional Dual HDMI Output Keying Module, enabling real-time layered graphics and data overlays on video wall outputs. The 4K Streaming Media and Playback Module adds synchronized 8HD playback (up to 8x 1080p/30 clips) and low-latency IP stream input (sub-300ms) for live source integration. Additional workflow tools include an EDID Manager, FTP-based media upload to the playback module, AES decryption for encrypted IP streams, and customizable on-screen labels. The CORIOmaster REST API supports multi-user control with up to four simultaneous connections, and Crestron control modules are available through tvONE’s support portal. An optional Secure Communication mode encrypts all network-based control through AES128 for mission-critical applications.

Key Features

• Up to 56 Inputs and 56 Outputs in 4RU — The Quad HDMI Input Module doubles input density to 56 sources in a single chassis; output modules scale to 56 full HD or 14 4K60 outputs.
• Four Independent Video Canvases — Manage up to four separate video walls or display zones from a single C3-540 chassis using CORIO3 patented processing technology.
• Dual 4K60 Output Module — The CM-HDMI-4K-SC-2OUT supports 4K60 in clone mode or dual independent 4K30 configurations for multi-screen 4K deployments.
• Multi-Window Layouts with Transition Effects — Windows can be sized, positioned, rotated 0–359°, and transitioned using Fade through Black, Shrink and Expand, Spin, or Movement presets.
• Modular I/O Platform — Supports Universal DVI, 4K HDMI, HDBaseT, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, IP streaming, and audio modules for flexible commercial AV signal integration.
• Real-Time Luminance Keying — Optional keying output module (CM-HDMI-SC-2OUT-KEY) adds real-time layered overlays with anti-aliased edges and zero visible latency.
• 4K Streaming and 8HD Synchronized Playback — IP streaming/media playback module (CM-AVIP-IN-1USB-1ETH) supports synchronized playback of up to 8x 1080p/30 stored clips.
• Low-Latency IP Stream Input — Sub-300ms latency in low-latency mode for live IP source integration; supports AES CBC encrypted streams (128-bit or 256-bit key).
• CORIOgrapher Control Software — Intuitive layout and control interface with 50 storable presets, login profiles, REST API with multi-user support, and Crestron/AMX module compatibility.
