To do this evening/ was completed: Tomorrow Alec and I will go through and make the masking adjustments for Undertone as I noticed today that it's slightly off of 2.2 and 2.1.

NPP Projection Close 3/10

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: I accidentally hit the wrong button on the LMS while trying to take projector 1 off its scheduled mode, which in turn caused the server to appear "offline" on Screenwriter. I loaded the  Girls About Town pre-show and tech'd it to be sure it would run without any issue, and it did, but thought it would be best to reboot the projector to avoid risking any malfunctions during the show and get the system back "online" on the LMS. Following this reboot, a warning on the touch panel stating the PIB board had lost connection was visible so I tried rebooting the machine a second time. This failed and the warning was the same as before so I reached out to Alec to help with troubleshooting the problem. He walked me through reseating the PIB board and rebooting the projector, which ultimately failed, and offered to come back to attempt it himself. Again I tried reseating the board but whatever I was doing was ineffect...

To do this evening/ was completed: A warning came up on the T2 projector this morning for the cooling pump, saying it is dead. I reached out to Jerry and he said that as long as the projector is operational (which it is, I checked) that it's just the sensor that is dead and not the pump itself. The only way to replace the sensor is to replace the whole pump, though. He'll quote us for a replacement. I also turned the AC in booth 2 back on with this warm weather we're having. The backup option for Cable in Trees is set and working. Rather than explain at length how it works here, see the projection manual section I added on it. Please read it through next chance you get. Presentation Issues: No issues today. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the Dope playlist (two versions, with and without the Mubi promo), Riding In Cars Wit Boys , and also Undertone . We need a special preshow for Jaws which Kat will have on our share folder by end of day tomorrow. Scheduled shows for next ...
