tvONE CORIOmaster micro C3-503 – Modular 4K Video Wall Processor

Product Overview

The tvONE CORIOmaster micro C3-503 is a modular, half-rack-unit 4K video wall processor designed for small video wall and multi-display deployments in commercial AV environments. Unlike the fixed-input CORIOview multiviewer range, the CORIOmaster micro is a slot-based, configurable platform: integrators select and install input and output modules to match the specific signal types required by each installation. It supports up to 2 independent video canvases with up to 10 windows per canvas, making it a compact but capable solution for boardrooms, corporate lobbies, house of worship productions, and government operations rooms where display systems require flexible source handling, real-time window transitions, and third-party control system integration.

Product Description

The tvONE CORIOmaster micro C3-503 is built on tvONE's patented CORIO®3 video wall processing technology in a 1/2 RU chassis. Unlike the CORIOview multiviewer models, the C3-503 is a modular platform — input and output modules are selected separately and installed into the chassis to match the project's exact signal requirements. Compatible input modules include HDMI, HDMI 4K, DVI-U (universal), 3G-SDI, HDBaseT, and IP streaming/media playback. Output modules support HDMI (up to 8 outputs per chassis), DVI-I, 3G-SDI, HDBaseT, and 4K HDMI. The chassis manages up to 2 separate video canvases simultaneously, with up to 10 windows per canvas depending on source resolution and window size. All windows can be freely positioned, resized, and rotated in 1-degree increments; customizable bezel compensation and multi-edge projector blending are also supported. The CORIOmaster micro supports 50 permanently stored presets managed by CORIOgrapher software, with third-party control via RS-232, IP REST API, and Crestron/AMX modules. IP streaming inputs support H.264 streams up to 1080p60 at 20 Mbps; a streaming media and 4K playback module enables 4K UHD or dual 1080p60 video file playback from internal storage. Advanced features include synchronized 8HD player (8x 1080p/30 synchronized playback), sub-300ms low-latency IP stream mode, luminance keying, AES-encrypted stream decoding, and FTP-based media file management. The unit is TAA-compliant and carries a 5-year limited warranty.

Key Features

• Modular Input and Output Architecture — Slot-based chassis accepts user-selected input and output modules including HDMI, HDMI 4K, DVI-U, 3G-SDI, HDBaseT, and IP streaming, configuring the system to exact project requirements.
• Dual Canvas Support — Manages up to 2 independent video canvases simultaneously, each with up to 10 display windows depending on resolution and window size configuration.
• Free Window Positioning and Rotation — Windows can be freely positioned, resized, and rotated in 1-degree increments on each canvas; customizable borders and bezel compensation included.
• Up to 8 Outputs per Chassis — Using quad HDMI output modules, the C3-503 supports up to 8 video outputs for multi-display and video wall configurations.
• 4K Streaming and Media Playback — The optional streaming media and 4K playback module supports 4K UHD or dual 1080p60 video file playback from internal storage, and IP streams at up to 1080p60 at 20 Mbps.
• Synchronized 8HD Playback — Delivers synchronized playback of up to 8 x 1080p/30 stored files across multiple outputs, with groupable file playlists for large-format synchronized content.
• Low-Latency IP Stream Mode — Processes live IP streams with typically sub-300ms latency for near-real-time source monitoring.
• Luminance Keying — Optional dual output keying module supports real-time luminance keying with anti-aliased edges and zero visible latency for graphic overlay workflows.
• 50 Permanently Stored Presets — Layout presets saved permanently in memory, recalled from the front panel or via CORIOgrapher, REST API, or control system commands.
• CORIOgrapher Software — Intuitive drag-and-drop design interface for window and source positioning, transition effects, and system management; supports touch input on Windows.
• Third-Party Control — RS-232 serial, IP REST API, Crestron module, AMX module, and CORIOmaster mobile app for unified multi-user control from any platform.
• TAA Compliant — Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. government and federally funded installations.
• 5-Year Limited Warranty — tvONE covers parts and labor for five years from date of purchase.
