The 5D's LCD screen will blank when an A/V cable is connected to its output port, which is normal behavior.
Video output from the 5D through composite connections should work when properly configured with the Scout's monitor.
Generic mini-to-RCA cables may route the video signal through unexpected connectors, such as the red or white RCA jack instead of the yellow one.
Feeding an SD composite video signal into an HD-SDI input port on a monitor can cause display failure.
The Scout monitor's preview button must be activated to display incoming video.

The original poster did not confirm whether they resolved the issue or tested with alternative equipment.
The advice about RCA connector color variations applies only to generic third-party cables, not manufacturer cables.
The HD-SDI port mismatch applies only when using monitors with both SD and HD inputs.
