I have tried multiple screens and cables but none of them can extract a video signal from the Ipad. All combinations of screens and cables work with every other device so I am confident that the peripherals are in good order.
The product spec confirmed that the 5th Generation Ipad I have can output video via the USB point.
Any ideas?
A fifth generation iPad Pro differs significantly from an iPad5. Your iPad Pro does not have a Lightning Port.
The fifth generation iPad Pro has a USB-C port - to which you can connect a suitable USB-C to HDMI Adapter, or connect directly via USB-C to a monitor that supports either DP Alt Mode over USB-C, or a Thunderbolt 3 video connection.

An iPad5 has a Lightning port. An iPad with a Lightning port requires either a Lightning to HDMI or Lightning to VGA video adapter with which to connect the iPad to an external monitor. Connecting a Lightning to USB Adapter alone will not output video from a iPad with a Lightning connector.

By contrast, an iPad Air5 has a USB-C port that supports DP/HDMI Alt Mode over USB-C - whereas some models of iPad Pro also natively support video over Thunderbolt 3.
Thank you for this response. So I bought this device in December 2021, Ipad Pro 5th Gen. I recently bought a USB C to HDMI adapter thinking this was what was required, but I actually need a Lightning to HDMI adaptor...is that correct?
Thank you for your support, I am not making myself clear.
I have a USB-C to HDMI adaptor that I bought last week specifically to use with the Ipad Pro.
Sadly it works with every other device in the house except this one. It is not an Apple adaptor - could that be the issue?
Unless the third-party Adapter explicitly states compatibility with iPad, compatibility cannot be assured.
You will need to seek assistance from the manufacturer.
