Monday 2/17 CLOSE Chris



To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues:
-Slight hitch with ADA stuff tonight, a visually impaired guest was told in an email exchange they'd be able to have descriptive audio for Jojo Rabbit in T5. Part of the misunderstanding here sprung from the very easily muddled line between a guest asking for Descriptive Audio (VI) vs Enhanced Audio (HI). It is entirely understandable that managers torn between a thousand different tasks every day assume that if the guest is asking for anything related to audio that they are dealing with a hearing impairment, we should definitely make and reinforce a clear distinction between the two settings on our in-theatre listening devices for managers as well as the staff at large. The other possible confusion was simply the fact that T5 is our only house incapable of providing a descriptive audio track. Another understandably easy-to-forget piece of info; this should be reinforced as well. Double-checked and the cue sheets indeed omitted VI from the showing in question as they should. All guest problems springing from this were handled swiftly and capably by mgmt.

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...
