PANASONIC HVX-200P NO VIDEO OUTPUT
I have 2 PANASONIC HVX-200P cameras.
One of them I just bought used. Seems to work fine.
My existing camera has the composite cable plugged into it and I use it tofeed a Blackmagic ATEM. Works without issue.
I unplugged the composite cable from the working camera and plugged it into my “new” camera.
I have no video signal coming through.
Seems like I remember reading some time ago that one of the settings controls making the composite port active. If so, does anyone know which one controls this?
I also tried using a SVHS cable into an analog to HDMI Converter box as well as a RCA cable
To the same converter box (not at the same time!) and got no signal that way either.
In that situation I do not know if the converter box is even working correctly.
Would prefer the composite cable.
Can someone help me figure out why I have no signal?

I spent a bit more time with this camera today and found there are a few settings I am unable to change. (There is no tape in the camera).
I want to change the settings in the “new” camera to match the existing one.
SETTINGS
SCENE F1
— I cannot change V DETAIL FREQ from THICK to THIN
RECORDING SETUP
— I cannot change 25M REC CH SEL from 2CH to ACH
—I cannot change the 480i REC MODE (want to set it to DV) it is currently DVCPRO50

You Have a lot going on there Patrick! What are you trying to accomplish by going standard def, composite out to an HD switcher? By using an HD capable camera, going out SD using an analog composite / S-Video to HDMI converter, to an HD switcher, you introduce a lot of possible signal issues.
I only used this camera once 15 years ago. I do have a Sony camera if the same vintage, that in order to use the composite, analog out you need to flip a switch that lets you choose between the LCD screen and the composite out. You can’t use both. If not a switch, you may have it in a menu for output if that is the issue. It may also have you chose between the component and composite out activated. I would look for that.
