If you're still looking for pinouts, here they are:

Sorry about the huge PDF file.

Since you have the G (genlock) model there should also be RGB video
on BNC connectors.

For authenticity, a KX-1211HG, CPD-120 or PVM-1270Q. Otherwise, a
Commodore 1080 or 1084 or whatever.

I have a little bit of stuff... I'll drop you a line if/when I archive it...
probably some time in 2015? :)

Amazingly enough Sony still lists a SMC-70G manual as available to order.
The part number is 3-773-522-22. If you feel like taking a $20 gamble you can
order it online at servicesales.sel.sony.com or servicesplus.us.sony.biz or
by phone at (800)488-7669. You might end up with a hefty bound manual or you
might end up with 2 xeroxed pages. I have no idea what it is other than it's
an instruction manual for SMC-70G serial number 20211 and later and it's not
one of the ones I have.
