NPP Projection Report 4/15 Open


To do this evening/ was completed: I left both of the lamps for the T1 35mm projectors on for a while today, about 4 hours, and they stayed on the whole time, which is both a good and a bad thing. Good in that it makes me feel good about Bring It On tomorrow, bad in that we still can't say for sure that the power supply is the issue. (For those not keeping up Roger asked me to switch the power supplies between projectors yesterday to make sure that is definitely the issue, hence why I had both lamps on). I wrote Jack some special instructions for tomorrow just in case something happens.

I tried removing the penthouse reader from P1 in T4 and switching it with one from T6, but they are different models and the one from T4 (Cat. No 701) has a power cable, while the one from T6 (Cat. No 702) does not. The 702 is still attached to P1 in T4 but is NOT functioning. I will have to pull the cables and switch them along with the penthouse readers. I should be able to get this done before Corpo Celeste (sort of depends on if I come in for an admin on Tuesday or come in to support McKegg for Melancholia, which is TBD based on the outcome of tomorrow's screening), but if not we can just bypass the penthouse and use the SR track for that.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Spoons went very well! HDMI worked perfectly. All cables, mics, and such are back in the bin under the curtain, wireless mic mixer reconnected to the CP750 and mic input channel changed back to surrounds. Spotlight control board back and connected in the booth.

Print/video Inspection: I inspected reel 2 of Melancholia, it's good overall but there's a few feet of fairly serious edge damage and emulsion scratches about 2/3 in. I made a few new repairs but it will go through the projector fine there'll just be a momentary loss of focus as the film is quite creased. I tagged Desmond in the inspection report so he's aware.

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...
