JVC GX-N5E Newvicon Connector Pinout

Hi everyone, I picked up a JVC Newvicon GX-N5E camera from the thrift today for a fiver. Decided it would look cool as a prop if I couldn't get it working, and would be even more cool if I could use it to film with. The problem is, of course, that it came with no VCR or cables, it was just the camera unit itself. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew the pinout of the 13 pin connector on the bottom that would hook up to the VCR. It appears to miss pin 2, although this could be how the engineers designed the plug. All I really need is power to the unit, and composite video and audio out of the unit. I could buy a MiniDV cam with composite in capabilities to capture video + audio from it, or even potentially try to make a Raspberry Pi video capture solution, that would go in a carry bag similar to those old handheld VCRs that would come with these cameras. But to do any of this, I will need to know how to fire this thing up and get it to give me a video signal. I don't want to just jam 12V on random pins to find out how to power it up, out of fear of frying electronics inside. Does anyone happen to know how I can achieve this? I've attached some (rather crappy but functional) pictures of the connector, and just for reference: The left upper pin is pin 1, the right lowest pin is 13. Thanks!
