The Comp 2 input on the Gen 2 model uses an 8-pin connector format.
Some units had a defective resistor on the main board that prevented analog video input and required board-level repair.
A full reset should be attempted before sending the monitor in for service.
Cross-converting from composite to SDI using an external converter box is a potential workaround.
SD composite video input should work on properly functioning Gen 2 units.
It is worth verifying that the video source is truly SD and not HD, as this confusion can occur on set.

The resistor defect was noted as affecting only some units, not all Gen 2 monitors.
The external converter solution adds cost and complexity rather than fixing the root issue.
One user reported a Comp 2 input failure after six years of reliable operation, suggesting possible component degradation over time.
The Gen 2 is described as significantly different from Gen 1, limiting cross-model troubleshooting relevance.
