For the Group 700 systems, to send AV output to the VSS-1 system,
use the HDMI cable for Monitor 3 or 2  to send AV to the VSS-1-HD system via the splitter/converter to the USB3.0 port.

Use an HDMI cable from the VSS-1-HD output port to a second Monitor 1 input port.

For the Group 300 systems, to send AV output to the VSS-1 system,
