SDI is a digital signal format that uses BNC connectors, while standard definition composite video is analog and also commonly uses BNC connectors, so connector type does not indicate signal type.
Standard definition monitors on stabilizer sleds typically accept composite analog video input via BNC, not digital SDI.
The Panasonic AG-HPX250P can output composite video from a port located on the front of the hand grip area near the zoom rocker.
The Panasonic AG-HPX250P has a downconvert feature accessible through output selection settings that allows SDI signals to be converted for use with standard definition equipment.
When downconvert mode is selected on the Panasonic AG-HPX250P, options like letterbox, squeeze, or crop can be chosen to adapt widescreen content to standard definition monitors.
A Blackmagic Design Mini Converter or similar SDI-to-analog converter can convert digital SDI output to analog composite video for connection to standard definition monitors.
The Panasonic AG-HPX250P cannot output HD-SDI and composite video simultaneously, requiring selection of one output type or the other.

The Sony FS700 compatibility with composite output was not confirmed in this discussion.
Whether the stabilizer sled monitor can be upgraded to HD capability was noted as uncertain.
The specific menu structure and exact naming of settings may vary or require verification in camera manuals.
