To do this evening/ was completed: Just a note on Jack's entry from the other day regarding the sound processor. So, this was also happening to me a bit but I'd reseat the 673 (the horizontal board that connects to the ribbon cable for the screen), unplug and then plug in the processor again, and it'd work. Just FYI - issues with the screen almost always means that nothing is wrong with the underlying processor itself, which is great, but what isn't is not being able to see the volume or track preference... Right now it still takes a moment to turn on if you leave it a bit, but I understand that's a little unsettling, so I've replaced the T1 673 with the 673 from T6.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Precode playlist set.~~ Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Note!!

To do this evening/ was completed: Will inspected Devil and the Deep earlier. Scheduled coming week in LMS sans Fjord (still waiting on feature to arrive) and SE playlists. Built the playlists for You Can See Everything with generic preshow in place of the 5min YCSE preshow piece, which should be available on Wednesday. Re-started DCP for Edward Scissorhands on T1 Mac . It's going to the George Ivan drive, should be finished tomorrow evening. Urgh! print went pretty smoothly. For some reason the HDMI lens cue didn't fire properly so I had to hit it manually. Broke down equipment afterward. **A note about CP500: When I turned on the 500, the front display screen didn't really turn on, it wasn't showing anything. I turned the 500 off and back and on and for a while it was the same thing, nothing displayed on the screen. I left the booth to go work on something else and came back a few minutes later and finally the screen was with all of the soundtrack options displayed.**...

To do this evening/ was completed: A few leaks in T2 booth along the brick wall, coming from cracks in the brick/sediment. Nothing too bad, I put a few towels down even though the water wasn't touching the ground mostly. Kept an eye on it throughout the night and both leaks have pretty much dried out. Projector equipment dry. Held off once again on scheduling outbound shipping for a print. Express Saver priced above $300 so waiting to hear back on what's preferred. It looks like the Edward Scissorhands DCP may have froze/glitched out in T1, because it says it's still going and will be done yesterday. Going to give it the night and restart it if it's indeed totally frozen.
