NPP Projection Report 10/6 Close


To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: The ACs in booths 3/7 and 5 shut off during the first round. I let Gil know and he reset something on the roof, which got them back on only for them to shut off again less than an hour later. Matthew was contacted and he tried to contact the AC company to try and get someone out to look at it. When checking these booths later on with Jeanette we saw that the ACs had come back on, and stayed on for the night.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: A note about building playlists: please make sure the timing of preshow is correct before scheduling the playlist. I noticed today that the No Time to Die playlist had only about 27 minutes of preshow, so the lights would have gone down a few minutes early. I know this may seem minor but this does make a difference for service and they rely on our cues to be accurate. If you're unsure what clips to include in preshow, refer to other current first run playlists or ask me. I updated the playlist with 30 minutes of preshow and rescheduled it so the TMS schedule would show the correct end time.

Something odd was happening with the ingest of Moonrise Kingdom to Theater 1. It would fail and then immediately reattempt the ingest only to fail again. I canceled the ingest, cleared the show playlist and incomplete CPL from the Theater 1 server, and ingested the feature directly to the server using the DCP USB sled, which worked. Rescheduled the playlist after the ingest finished.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Texas Chainsaw 35mm screening in Theater 1 went great!

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested Dune and built/scheduled the playlist.

Ingested Firstness and sent to Theater 3 to be teched tomorrow.

Continued converting NewFest shorts to DCP. Ingested shorts to Theater 2 for teching tomorrow.

Tales from the Hood DCP drive and a new Trail Mix came.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): UPS picked up our outgoing hard drives.

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: I did not get to run the LampLOC alignment in Theater 5 as I was occupied by the booth AC issue during the breaks in rounds. I looked at it though and it is noticeable to my eye, and while not terribly disruptive it's definitely worrying. I will give the LampLOC and possibly some other things a try tomorrow to see if the issue can be resolved.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes, finished cues for next week through Wednesday and updated end times for No Time to Die, Moonrise Kingdom, and Dune.

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Projectors off for the night?: Yes

Projection cart by TH5?: Yes

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
