NPP Projection Report 11/17 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed: I tested the show playlist for Minions before showtime in theater 2 this morning and the picture/sound were fine. The DCP backup for Desperately Seeking Susan looks/sounds great. The mono soundtrack was a bit low so it needed to be played even louder than the print version. I made notes for volume and credit/crawl offset times for Jack to use later if needed. I also ran some alignment loops through both projectors in theater 6 to check how much shadow was cast on screen from each aperture plate; projector 2's is barely noticeable once its pushed in but projector 1's plate definitely needs filing down as it sticks out on the right hand side of the screen -- this isn't exactly a hindrance but is definitely cutting off some of the picture. Gaff tape on the port glass only makes the shadow look fuzzier so I left it untouched to give the shadow a more refined edge beside the curtain

Presentation Issues: There were no serious alarms in theater 2 this morning (the "light half life exceeded" alarm has been yellow for some time) but the "ballast communication/ballast power locked out" alarms in theater 5 are still glowing red, however, the bulb did not need to be struck manually today and the first round preshow started normally without any issues

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...
