NPP Projection Report 9/25 Close REVISED

To do this evening/ was completed: Downloaded and ingested KDMs for Thirst

Presentation Issues: I heard a crackling sound coming from the left center speaker during the 5:45PM screening of Barbarian in theater 3 and ran a house check once it ended; the speakers in the room sounded fine so I wonder if it wasn't the loudness of the mix that caused the noise

The 9:00PM screening of Moonage Daydream did not start as scheduled in theater 2; I started this round manually and skipped ahead two minutes into the show playlist to compensate for the delay

I also noticed the FLAT masking in theater 2 (specifically during the Moonage Daydream feature) was slightly pillarboxed on the right hand side while the left hand side of the image was more flush with the curtains and the edge of the screen itself; initially I chalked this up to the angle of the projector creating a spacing effect on the edge of the frame but I looked at it again during the last round and tried to adjust the lens file after the show ended (this adjustment proved unsuccessful because the flat lens file is currently as centered as it can be but the feature content, for whatever reason, shows the slightest pillarboxing, despite being cropped to a 1.85:1 aspect ratio)

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
