Projection report 7/19 (admin)



Presentation Issues: The first round of Lion King started right into the feature instead of the preshow. I think this is because the feature file had been loaded into the server, but not ejected — so when the projector hit the scheduled start time, it just played whatever was loaded into the controller instead of the playlist which was actually scheduled. I apologize for not catching that earlier, and for also not knowing this was possible. Fortunately, the problem was discovered after about a minute and I was able to load the actual playlist and time it out correctly pretty quickly.

** TMS froze about thirty minutes before we opened doors. I went to reboot it and it timed out completely and would not restart — the Dell computer in the rack eventually auto-rebooted itself due to 'inactivity'. It was not back on-line until after the first round began.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: built a playlist for THE MATRIX: RELOADED, scheduled it in theater 2. Playlist still needs its end credit offset — we can grab it after the keys open Sunday morning.

** sent Lion King to projector 6 for next week's private event

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: staff screenings of The Lion King and Sword Of Trust. No problems.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Received and ingested new keys for Booksmart and Yesterday

** downloaded the updated segment of the Lil Hawk preshow. Unfortunately due to the timing of the file upload and TMS going down, I was not able to ingest this or update playlists before the first round of shows began. Sorry.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): deleted all of our outgoing features from the projectors

** packed up all our outgoing drives and carried them over to the UPS drop

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Checked

Maintenance/cleaning: updated the dry erase board in booth 4/6

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):

Marquee updated?: Removed Rocketman, Pets 2, Dead Don't Die, and Late Night from the front side — put up The Lion King and Sword Of Trust. On the north side: removed the Goodbar info, put up "Bill And Ted Brunch / Sat + Sun" and "The Matrix Reloaded 7/22". Thank you to Michael for helping enormously with changing the front side.

Posters updated?: Took down Rocketman, Dead Don't Die, and Pets 2 outside. Moved Lion King and Spider-Man to the left, added Sword Of Trust, and on the right side put up 'coming soon' posters for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Hobbs & Shaw.

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projectors off for the night?:

Projection cart by TH5?: cart is back in 3/7

NPP Projection 11/17 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:v Mandy ingested to T1. Reached out to Vision for new posters. Was placed on hold, which was more an unending cycle of pressing 1 for hold and then being told to press 0 for voicemail or 1 for hold. Point being I left a voicemail requesting new posters. Gave them our account number, location and my cell. Outgoing marquee letters taken down. 11/10 playlists and forecasts deleted, Chicken Run V2 and Christmas Action trailers downloaded and ingested, 11/24 A1 playlists and packs built. Inspected Raising Cain print. It's in good condition, minimal scratching, no splices. Inspection sheet filled out. Transferred Marvels content to T6, as it was missing from the server due to the 1:20 tomorrow being a manual start.

NPP Projection Report 4/6 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: Theater 3 issue happened again, Carly radioed me that the second round preshow didn't start. I was able to restart the projector and put the preshow on about 12 minutes before lights down. Trailers/feature played fine after that. I wrote again to DMS and Jerry said he'll have a list of parts to replace on Monday. For the sake of clarity, here is everything I've gathered about this issue: -When it happens, you won't be able to control playback via the TMS, manually fire automation cues, or access the IMS web GUI at all -Schedules for Theater 3 will display as "KDM missing" and the storage health icon on the Overview page will say "Storage degraded," even though the storage is healthy and KDMs have been uploaded and are active. -This issue prevents the server from validating KDMs (even though they are there and valid), so encrypted content will not play with the server in this state. If the projector goes into this st

Projection Close 12/28 Lillian

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey all. Thanks for the Christmas coverage and for quickly hopping on board to accompany Alec while he's out for a little while - I really appreciate it. We've just about got our schedule sorted, so please remember to take a look to see the changes made.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Double checked that T6 and T6 specific playlists are all set.  Tomorrow! Please get your eyes on When Harry Met Sally just to check sound/image and credits info. Screens this Saturday/Sunday but the keys open up tomorrow. I adjusted the playlist based on the ingest letter (and looked it up online, but the offset is a little different, so you'll want to make sure!) Thanks! Adjust cue sheets if necessary.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received Drive Away Dolls posters.  Ordering/Receiving (content): We're all good on KDMs at the moment.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Ins
