NPP Projection Blog 4/25 Closing



To do this evening/ was completed: The single event tonight gave me a chance to focus on the cue sheets, TMS scheduling, and prepping for White Lightning next week 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: I downloaded the preshow clips (Generic_70s_15 and 5 mins, AreYouThere_5mins). The trailer list says "Generic_70s_25mins," but all I could find was the 5mins in the DCP downloads folder on the drive. 

I tried to ingest them as they were and I got error messages. So I ran them through DCP-o-matic and that seemed to do the trick. I managed to build the initial Are You There God playlists at the tail end of my shift, but please double check them so the cue sheets are accurate

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: The Cymande event in Theater 1 went great! Intro and Q+A went smoothly and the DJ set up in Trees was super simple. Everything is broken down and back in its place. 

Q+A added to the recordings folder on the Drive. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): 

Ordering/Receiving (content): Keys for Are You There, God? are uploaded

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: I took a look at White Lightning just to familiarize myself with the print, pull my cues, and take pictures. It is in beautiful shape

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): I worked on filling out the cue sheets for next week. The automation lined up until Monday - Wednesday where every playlist was scheduled for their ticketed showtime, not the preshow start time. I adjusted that and automation should be set, even the OCAP showtimes. They should be good to go, but please someone cross-reference them for me as well. 

Event, Guardians 3, and Are You There God? timing still need to be added.

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...
