NPP Projection Report 1/11 Admin/Close

To do this evening/ was completed: Ingested Red Rocket from EclairPlay and keys for Belle, Licorice Pizza, Scream, Sing 2, and West Side Story; removed the staff screening playlist of The Tragedy of Macbeth from TMS and servers 3 and 4

I had some technical difficulties ingesting the Scream and updated generic preshows this afternoon; it failed to upload through the desktop/ingest from the DCPII drive so I tried ingesting it directly to the IMS in theater 1 but it could not recognize the file -- I am not sure if it is missing file elements or if there is something corrupted in the files themselves (update: I have since restarted the TMS to see if this assists in allowing the files to ingest properly -- the reboot was unsuccessful)

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Took out Red Rocket posters from the trivia shelf to hang in the lobby

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Tech screened Paid in Full with Desmond this afternoon; there seems to be some compression pixellation in the darker parts of the image throughout (either from the DCP conversion process or from the file itself being an internet rip) which is fairly noticeable but Desmond didn't mind 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Began working on cue sheets for the week but have not yet scheduled any shows as we are anticipating new preshow content to be uploaded to the Google drive this evening

Marquee updated?: Letters for all upcoming first run titles were organized and set on the workbench in 3/7

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projectors off for the night?:

Projection cart by TH5?: Yes

Nest:

Additional Notes: Accidentally broke one of the port windows in booth 6 (the pin was not fully engaged and it toppled over); Alec asked Matthew about spares but I could not find any in theaters 1 or 2 so I used the spare pane of glass on top of theater 4's projector to stick the foam lining and pin handle to for the time being - it seems to be holding up well

Soundtrack app on the 4/6 booth iPad keeps crashing; in addition to this the iPad itself will not keep a charge and is dying despite being connected to the charging cable and the screen displaying the connection (update: Jesse brought up one of the server iPads and downloaded the Soundtrack app; lobby music is now playing from this device for the time being)

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
