NPP Projection 4/18 Close



To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: About 40 minutes into the last round in T2 I was notified that one of the Captiview units wasn't working for a guest. I went into the theater to try to reconnect the device but was simply given the message "Dolby Captiview Ready" with no captions following. Brought a second Captiview into the theater to see if this one would work properly and was given the same message upon connecting to the theater. No captions populated the display. I wasn't able to tech this issue further as I was running a print in T4. I asked MOD to ask the guest if the Captiview had been working initially or if it wasn't functioning to begin with--not sure which was the case.

Round 3 in T6 did not start as automated. Playlist was ready to go at 00:00 but simply had not started.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: House on Haunted Hill screening went smoothly. Print is back in its shipping cans, resting in 4/6.

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...
