Three kinds of consciousness ( vinnana)?

Three kinds of consciousness ( vinnana)?

In this video (counter 1.00) Ven Pemasiri said that there are three kinds of Vinnana.
The translator also said there is consciousness outside the five aggregate. Did he?

-Wholesome Vinnana
- Unwholesome Vinnana
- Nither wholesome nor unwholesome Vinnana

Is there a Sutta reference for this?
Is the third one some Jhana consciousness or the Nibbana?

“As the lamp consumes oil, the path realises Nibbana”
