Atomos Ninja V+ with SDI not taking 60p signal from Fs5

For some reason my Atomos Ninja V+ is not taking my Fs5's 1080p60 SDI signal.

If I switch to the Shogun Inferno the signal is read just fine.

If I'm using my FX6 it reads 60p just fine (although I'm not sure I've ever used 1080p60 specifically with that camera—4K60 is more likely).

If I switch the Fs5 to 24p or 30p the signal is read. And if I change the SDI output to 720p the signal is read.

The Atomos specs indicate it should take this signal. Any thoughts on why this isn't working? I just recently updated it to the latest firmware.
 
From memory. I think you may find it's the Compatibility mode setting. I seem to recall the FS5 puts out Level-B in HD on the SDI out. If you are running a Ninja V series with the SDI module, you will find on the input screen a toggle for "Compatibility". I seem to recall that this needs to be set to "OFF"... or ON? I think it's OFF, though. Just double-check that setting. Set that to OFF before connecting your SDI signal. Not saying it is, but it may just be the answer. On your FX-6, again from memory, the HD SDI out menu setting is Level-A by default. Good luck.
