Quick start
This Quick Start Guide gives you an overview of the steps involved in setting up a video wall with your
CORIOmaster™, CORIOmaster mini™, or CORIOmaster micro™ hardware and CORIOgrapher™ software.
1. Plan your video wall. What do you want your video wall to look like? What equipment do you need to achieve
this?
At the back of this guide is a plan that you can fill out.
Read more about planning a video wall on here.
2. Install your hardware.
a. Position your displays.
b. Connect your displays and sources to your output and input modules. Connect the LAN port of the CPU
module to your network.
OPTIONAL: If you have a CORIOmaster micro™, connect a digital audio device to the S/PDIF audio
output.
Video tearing
Using a mixture of frame rates and/or resolutions can cause video tearing. For best results, make sure all your
displays use the same frame rate.

a. Power on yourCORIOmaster.
Read more about installing hardware here.
3. Install CORIOdiscover andCORIOgrapher.
Your CORIOmaster comes with a USB drive, which contains software for installing CORIOdiscover and
CORIOgrapher.
Download the latest version of CORIOgrapher from tvone.com/softwares.
4. Open CORIOgrapher and select your CORIOmaster. Enter your username and password to log in and select
Read to load your configuration.
The first time you log in, make sure the Secure option is cleared.

Planning and installing video walls
The first step towards creating a video wall with your CORIOmaster™, CORIOmaster mini™, or
CORIOmaster micro™, is planning and setting up your hardware.
Planning a video wall
It is helpful to write a plan before you start installing. A plan saves you time and effort later, and helps you
make sure you have all the equipment you need.
There is a printable plan at the back of this guide.
If you cannot print and fill out the plan, think about the following questions:
Overall effect
What do you want your video wall to look like?
How large is your video wall?
What do you want to accomplish?
Displays
How many displays do youneed?
What sizes are thedisplays?
What are the bezel sizes of the displays?
What is the native resolution of each display?
Do you need displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)?
How many projectors do youneed?
Do you need to blend the edges of displays?
How much overlap do you need?
Sources or inputs
What typesof source do you need?
What is the native resolution of each source?
What is the frame rate of each source?
Will the sources be available at all times that the video wall is operating?
Is there any switching or processing before the source reaches your CORIOmaster™?
Windows
How many windows do you need to create the effect you want? Include
all windows, even those that are not active all the time.
What level of quality do you need for each window?
Video tearing
Using a mixture of frame rates and/or resolutions can cause video tearing. For best results, make sure all your
displays use the same frame rate.

In most cases, you cannot have the highest quality for all your windows. Which windows can be lower quality?
Presets
Do you want to use presets in your video wall?
What type of control system will you use to operate the video wall and change between presets?
Installing video wall hardware
Once you have planned and collected your hardware, you can set it up. First, install your displays and place your
sources. Then connect your displays to your output modules and your sources to your input modules.
Who can do this?
Anyone can do this task, but we recommend that you consult a qualified AV installer.
Placing your CORIOmaster™ and video wall
When you decide where to place your hardware, consider these points:
Availability of electrical outlets
Distance from CORIOmaster to sources and video wall
For best results, use cables under 15 m long, or shorter if you use connection adapters. If you need to place
your CORIOmaster more than 15 m away from your video wall or sources, use a signal extender.
Read about our adapters here.
See our range of signal extenders at tvone.com.
Installation environment
In industrial environments, use shielded Ethernet cables.
What is a window?
A window is a container for a source input. You can have multiple windows playing the same source.
You can resize, move, and rotate windows in the video wall editor.
What is a preset?
A preset stores information about windows, including positions, transitions, and effects such as
borders or rotation. You can save presets and recall them later from the dashboard or using the
buttons of yourCORIOmaster micro.

Position your displays and sources
1. Use your plan to help you position your displays, which can be screens and/or projectors.
Make sure you note all the measurements, so you can make an accurate video wall in
CORIOgrapher™.
2. Position your sources. Follow the advice above when you choose where to put your sources.
3. Connect your displays or projectors to the output modules of your CORIOmaster.
4. Connect your sources to the input modules of your CORIOmaster.
Keep a note of which display is connected to which port. You can use this information later when you name
inputs and outputs in CORIOgrapher. You can also label the inputs and outputs directly.

5. Connect your CORIOmaster to your network. If you want to control your CORIOmaster with a serial
controller, connect a serial controller.
6. Connect your CORIOmaster to an electrical outlet and power on.
You can now create your video wall in CORIOgrapher.
Keep a note of which source is connected to which port. You can use this information later when you name
inputs and outputs in CORIOgrapher.
