NPP Projection Close 8/3



To do this evening/ was completed: Began inspecting The Fifth Element print. So far the print is in good condition, with a decent amount of base scratching. The first reel has printed and scribed cues on the same frames, but the second reel has scribed X marks for the motor and changeover cues, then about eight frames later (for both motor and changeover) there's a set of printed cues and a set of scribed cues, which should be disregarded as they're positioned too late on the reel.

Went over 35mm projection procedure with McKegg in each of the booths. We reviewed threading pretty thoroughly, went over how to turn each projector on, how to adjust framing and focus, how to rotate lenses in the turret, how to make sure the CP500 has the right projector selected at the beginning of a show. I also made him aware of moving the switch to "open" on the exhaust pipes connected to each projector. 

We also reviewed the TMS/IMS interfaces, how to ingest content locally, how to upload keys, how to use the quick controls for macro execution. After that we got everything ready for STB. 

Presentation Issues: When the Mediablock HDMI playlist started in T1, the dowser opened and projected a blue wash on the screen. I went into Splashtop and then VNC to close the dowser, which did nothing to cut the image. I toggled back and forth between open and close but the Christie seemed to remain unresponsive. I did not attempt to close the dowser on the touch panel in T1.

STB host Michael's laptop also was not functioning properly initially. When we connected the HDMI cable, his laptop registered the connection but we weren't getting an image on screen. I connected the projection laptop to the HDMI and got picture immediately. He ended up restarting his laptop and the issue was resolved.

NPP Projection Report 11/23 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Checked the Home Alone DCP ahead of the private event this morning, no issues. The party was a bit late seating, so the movie start was a little bit delayed. Overall it ran smoothly. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Kat will be making a DCP of Guardians of the Galaxy tomorrow for the private event in T1 on Tuesday morning. Chenelle will get the blu-ray sent over here for us to have as backup. I set up the blu-ray player so it's connected to both the monitor and the projector, in case we end up needing to use the blu-ray. I sent Lillian and McKegg an email about this separately. I checked the scope blu-ray projector channel in Theater 1 and it's good to go should we need to screen the blu-ray. I started the DCP of Death Race 2000 on the T1 Mac.

Projection Admin 9/2

To do this evening/ was completed: Our Network has been updated. Nick from DMS came in to drop off the relay mechanism and take a look at 3/7 before his install visit next week. I showed him in and around the space and he checked in with the WiFi guys. He also liased with Chris whilst scoping out the existing relay system in in 3/7.  It is still somewhat of a wreck in the 46 booth (cables and boxes that, to my knowledge, need to be thrown out, but I asked if they were going to clean up/what needs to be cleared out and I didn't get a proper response in both English and when I asked in Spanish lol so apparently someone might be coming round to finish that up tomorrow. If we don't, we can call Juan and double check. I did tidy things up though, so at least it's not absolute chaos in here.  Once the Network was up and properly running, I tested out theatres 4 and 6 to see if anything needed to be rebooted and lo n behold, only the dimmer panels needed to be rebooted in all the...
