To do this evening/ was completed: Put up Onslaught letters and forewent the rest of the split titles, per Alec's recommendation. Also took off the 35mm letters for Odyssey. The 35mm poster for Odyssey is still up... "Now Showing" for Onslaught. Old playlists and forecasts removed, new A1 playlists built. A good amount of them were running to about 42 minutes of preshow so per Kat's recommendation I removed the Heart of the Beast trailer.  Tech'd: Gridlock'd, Poetic Justice, Gang Related, Litany For Survival and its preshow assets . Volumes logged. The Litany DCP we were provided does not have captions burned in, so I'm thinking it just has a file embedded for closed-captioning devices. We'll look at the pro-res files and see if we can make a new DCP with captions that way. Litany assets: ALMPromo: 4.0 Volume, 1.85 lens/mask. QVNYC Trailer: 5.0 Volume 1.85 lens/mask. I saw a note on the board stating Gridlock'd volume and credit time but both of th...

To do this evening/ was completed: Our Network has been updated. Nick from DMS came in to drop off the relay mechanism and take a look at 3/7 before his install visit next week. I showed him in and around the space and he checked in with the WiFi guys. He also liased with Chris whilst scoping out the existing relay system in in 3/7.  It is still somewhat of a wreck in the 46 booth (cables and boxes that, to my knowledge, need to be thrown out, but I asked if they were going to clean up/what needs to be cleared out and I didn't get a proper response in both English and when I asked in Spanish lol so apparently someone might be coming round to finish that up tomorrow. If we don't, we can call Juan and double check. I did tidy things up though, so at least it's not absolute chaos in here.  Once the Network was up and properly running, I tested out theatres 4 and 6 to see if anything needed to be rebooted and lo n behold, only the dimmer panels needed to be rebooted in all the...
