Projection Close 1/22



To do this evening/ was completed: Started to properly get back to folks who've reached out with an interest in projecting here. We are, of course, not hiring at the moment, but we'll keep stock of the CVs for future reference. 

Presentation Issues: This didn't really pose an issue since I caught it before anyone had shown up for preshow, but T2 had immediately queued up and started to play the playlist it had just finished playing--sorry, bit of a mouthful, but this is because the playback settings had--for whatever reason--been changed to 'play then rewind.' This has tripped me up in the past when putting logos on loop for special events and then simply forgetting to change it back. Make sure the playback settings are set to 'play then eject.' I checked every theatre's IMS to make sure the settings were correct. 
If you're unfamiliar with this, here's what it looks like on the IMS: 




...and here's what it looks like when using the IMS3000 in T7: First, go to playback and click the 'playback mode' option in the bottom left corner. 



Then make sure you choose the correct setting! That's it. 





Preshow Clips/Playlist: Escape from New York ingested into T1. I brought the CRU drive back up. 

Got a tip from MOD that RRR sounded a bit too loud and that some patrons looked a bit queasy, so I checked the playlist first and it was at 4.2 instead of the agreed upon volume, 4.0, which actually makes a huge difference since the mix is so sensitive. I quickly brought it down and changed the playlist. 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Snagged the DJ cables from Trees and put them all safely back in 4/6. 

Put the 8:15 game on in Trees. Brought the screen back up and turned the projector off afterwards. The key to the AV box is back in the supplies box in the storage closet in Trees. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Reached out to DMS and Dolby so that we can get info/tracking for the new IMS. The good news is that they (DMS) don't actually need to come snag the 3000 from us after the weekend, as it sounded. We can have it for a bit longer until the permanent one shows up. 

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Similarly to Alec, I put the rest of the trailers on cores and labeled them ac(core)dingly. 

I cleaned the projectors in T1. They're prepped for tomorrow's screening. 

13 Going on 30 trailer I'll be taking a look at myself on Monday morning, which is why it's still out on a house reel. 

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):

Marquee updated?:

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
