Projection Report 9/19 (close)



Presentation Issues: The fire alarm went off this evening, so I had to go from booth to booth resetting the lighting panels. There was an issue with the panel in 3/7, which wouldn't allow me to turn off the lighting override. Finally I called Michael, who was incredibly helpful as always, and advised me to flip all the breakers labeled "rack." I did this, and regained control of the lighting panel without interrupting playback (which was my fear). We cut significantly into the following preshows, and I ran trailers with the lights up.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Night Gallery finished copying over.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): I added new credits/end times to the cue sheets after the fire alarm. Also double checked everything for tomorrow - all set.

Marquee updated?: Up to date.

Posters updated?: Up to date.

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes.

Projectors off for the night?: Yes.

Projection cart by TH5?: Yes.

Nest:

Additional Notes: I spent some time creating a step-by-step description for exactly what to do when the fire alarm is triggered. Something like this might already exist, but I couldn't find it in the projection manual and thought it would be a helpful thing to have (if only to solidify this information for myself). I noticed tonight that the process was slightly different from last time, so I noted what to do if certain things don't work right away. The document is called "Fire Alarm Instructions" and saved on the desktop in 4/6. Feel free to modify/add to it if anybody has any other information that could be helpful.

NPP Projection Open 12/28

To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled 1/3 - 1/9 in LMS. A few manual starts in there. I scheduled those shows just a minute or two after their real start time to get the content transferred, just FYI. Started building the cue sheets as well. Got the first three days done. SE screenings went smoothly.

Projection Admin (and Close) 10/19

To do this evening/ was completed: Real quick - It was a great day! For tonight, I've let MOD know that, since I'm more comfortable staying until most of the last round starts (due to some funky server issues we've been having), I'm going to go see a movie in T2 and can silently text with them if they need anything or should anything go wrong (knocking on wood).  Extremely thrilled to say that all three NewFest shows went very well this morning/afternoon. It was definitely a bit of a magic trick with some overlapping intros/Q&As but having my personal ROS helped so much. Thank you to Desmond, NewFest rockstar.  Desmond and I double checked all shows before doors. Gaffed the wired mics and tested everything. Since one guest for the q&a in T2 wasn't comfortable with the chairs, we swapped our directors chairs for the ones in the bar, which still worked super well with the slides and spots.  Had to ride the mic in trees a bit since everyone's got a differen...

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...
