NPP Projection Close 10/22

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built show playlists for Ginger Snaps for both days this weekend + converted and ingested a slide for the Sunday intro and added it to the playlist Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: NewFest intro and screening went smoothly in theater 6; ran into some issues with the spots in theater 1 -- the 803 setting, despite it being specified and in bold on the event memo, was not the correct one according to the NF staff, so I changed it to on the fly to remove the red wash which was present for some reason(???) I mistakenly put up the "Queer Mixer" slide on the bar TVs and the "T4T" slide on the projector screen at Trees, was alerted of the mistake and told (correctly by Alec, I should specify) that a looping video with the T4T slide and other NF content was to be played on the screen and a static T4T slide was meant to be on the TVs ...Galen told me only the still T4T slide was suppose...

NPP Projection Close 10/21

To do this evening/ was completed: Both NewFest events went smoothly. Mics back in the booth. Converted/ingested all of the Craft dragshow pieces and sent them to T2. Downloaded Agora DCP to Share drive, ingested.  Off the Air ingested to LMS. Trees TV/projector started acting up again toward the end of the night. Projector seemed to turn itself off. Turning it back on resolved the issue. Told MOD to let me know if it happened again, no word from them.

Projection Admin 10/21

To do this evening/ was completed: Staff screenings are out o 7shifts, blocked on the calendar and scheduled on the LMS.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built playlists for Wildwood, Klara and the Sun. Finished NF weekend shows.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Setup for both NF events tonight, which should be a breeze. Spotify playlist is all set in T6 on the PC. Same as usual - nonsync. Keep at 3.5. Went over both playlists with Desmond and made a few adjustments so that everything's a little smoother.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): We received new preshow content for New Fest, which I added to the playlists.  Received Wildwood DCP via post. Ingested.  Received content for the private event on 10/26. I am DCPing this in 4/6. Please ingest once done.  Continued with Dark Room shorts. We only have one more to go, so once the private event DCP is done transcoding, you can pop that one in ...

NPP Projection Close 10/20 (McKegg mid-shift/Will close)

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Final round in theater 4 failed to start since the show playlists were scheduled too close to one another Around 11PM I got a call on the radio from Desmond about the projector at Trees. The NF slide was still running on the TVs above the bar but not on the big screen. I turned the projector back on but this caused the TVs to display "no signal" over rainbow bars. Once I got Plex working again I tried to power the projector back on but it caused the same issue. I am not sure why this disconnect is happening since both sources were working together just fine before, so I have turned the projector off for the remainder of the party and kept the slide running on the bar TVs.  Preshow Clips/Playlist:  Built a show playlist for Hotel Transylvania   Made adjustments to the NewFest playlists for tonight following their tech earlier this afternoon.  Still a score of playlists that still need to be built including Klara...

NPP Projection Report 10/20 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Theater 6 is down. The projector is unable to establish a connection with the server. I tried putting in our back up IMS, but the projector still could not establish a connection. After discussing with Jerry at length we think it's a Christie problem, so I pulled logs from the projector and sent them. Waiting to hear back. DMS is also checking if they can provide us with an emergency replacement for tomorrow. Preshow Clips/Playlist: McKegg ran through the NewFest playlists for tonight and made a few small adjustments. There was no babies playlist scheduled in T2 today. I noticed after it started so I adjusted things manually. I feel like this happens almost every week, so let's build this every Tuesday when the film schedule comes out and be sure to schedule it. We do these every week so it should be routine. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I set 2.00 masking back in T1 for the NewFest program tonight. Ordering...

Projection Close 10/19 Lil

To do this evening/ was completed: Jack has been having some medical hiccups today, so I stayed on to run the screenings (especially seeing as how Will called in sick, too). I let Jack go home a little early as he's got a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I've checked in with MOD to let them know that I'll be remoting in for the rest of the evening. Notes on New Fest below. I am heading out tonight at 10:15. Presentation Issues: ONE NOTE: I got a call for You Can See Everything last round in T3 tonight that the masking did not execute for 1.33 in T3. For the life of me, I cannot remember if we've got any other ratio programmed in there atm for either a previous first run or a New Fest show, but this should be a quick fix in the morning (I am little too sleepy to do this at the end of tonight). I'm assuming the masking preset just needs to be written again, or perhaps it was just a random hiccup. I manually adjusted it super fast, so it's fine for the rest of t...
