What you will need is the Impact Channel Option board. With ICO, you can set
the display to output 2 VGA channels, which you can connect to the HMD. Set up
the Performer channels to map to the ICO channels, and you should be set. You
should only need some BNC cables.

The display won't detect the types of stereo output that we output, it only
understands VGA. I would imagine that if you only send one input in, it will
simply send the same image to each eye.

Most of this comes from http://www.cts.com/browse/keo/ProView_50_ST.html .
