HD-SDI Out Settings - Please help!

I'm shooting a convention next weekend and the organisers want to take a feed from the SDI Out on my HPX and project it up on a screen for the audience. I've got myself an HD-SDI cable, plugged it into the output on my camera and the input on my JVC TM-H150C monitor, but I'm getting nothing but snow on the monitor. Can anyone help me fix my settings?

This is how my AV In/Out Setup Menu looks at the moment:

CMPNT/SDI SEL - is blued out and not adjustable
SDI OUT - ON
SDI METADATA - OFF
SDI EDH - OFF

Don't know if it makes a difference or not but I'll be shooting DVCPRO, not 1080i or 720p. It doesn't make any difference to the snow on the screen whatever recording format I try.
 
Figured it out. The JVC TM-H150C monitor has 'optional' SDI in. So although it's got the BNC connectors on the back, they do not feed an SDI in connection. This is why I was getting snow.

Tested the camera on a different monitor with actual SDI in and the above settings worked no problem.
