NPP Projection Report 4/29 Admi


To do this evening/ was completed: The hosts for the private event will be dropping off a blu-ray tonight.

Presentation Issues: I tried to recreate some of the issues that came up with the HDMI connection in Theater 2 last night. Though I didn’t get any IMB or Marriage errors, something is definitely up with it. Both blu-ray and the laptop appeared fine at first, but after switching between the two a few times the picture from the laptop eventually froze on screen, with a dark blue bar across the screen towards the top, and did not go away even when I connected the blu-ray player. I checked the settings for the channel and compared them to the HDMI channels in Theater 1, and all the settings were correct. I’ve told Chris from DMS about this, and it will be looked at during the visit on Tuesday. He also mentioned an alternate way of projecting an HDMI connection with a CPL played on the DCP channel, which I will try next time I’m in and the theater is not open for screenings. Had no issues playing DCP in Theater 2.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Scheduling issues with Theater 1 have been resolved, so I scheduled everything in Theater 1 for the week.

Trailer Updates: 

Special Events/ AV set up: The Sonic private screening in Theater 1 this morning went well.

Cleared all remaining equipment from Shouting at the Screen from Theater 2 and returned the turntables to 3/7.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received posters for On the Count of Three and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. Placed them both in the caddy.

Ordering/Receiving (content): Received DCPs of Batman and Doctor Strange. Ingested Batman to Theater 3 and Doctor Strange to the TMS.

Also received a DCP of Sin City, but this has been moved to Williamsburg. I let John know to coordinate getting the drive over to them.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Checked the Addams Family Values playlist for the weekend. It’s good to go.

Began inspecting the print of The Mask. It’s in excellent shape.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes, updated delivery info for the Born to Win print, it’s now coming Monday the 2nd.

Maintenance/cleaning: Chris from DMS was working on the TMS and IMS servers remotely for most of the day. He managed to resolve the scheduling issues with Theater 1, both the wrong names appearing on the TMS schedule and the IMS erasing all schedules and logs every time it restarts. He also upgraded the firmware for all IMS servers, except 3 and 7 as the server needs to be rebooted for the update to complete and they were already open for screenings. They will complete the upgrade automatically next time they restart, which will be 9am tomorrow morning. Won’t affect any shows tonight or tomorrow.

Organized the poster caddy, got rid of extra Fantastic Beasts posters and reordered everything else by release date.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):

Marquee updated?: Took down The Batman and The Lost City and moved the remaining titles around to make space for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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
