I have just tested this arrangement with a fifth generation iPad Pro 12.9" - also with a USB-C port...


As tested with iPadOS 16.6.1, the Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter (Model A1438) is not recognised by the iPad when connected via the new Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter.


While the new Adapter does support many OEM and third-party Lightning accessories, at this time, the Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter does not appear to be supported.


As such, if you need to connect to a TV or monitor using HDMI, you would be best advised to instead consider using an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter:
