NPP Projection Report 5/31 Admin


To do this evening/ was completed: We are losing Beau is Afraid, Dungeons & Dragons, and Master Gardener after tonight. None of these titles are currently on the marquee (pressed for space with long titles/Mubi ad), but we should squeeze Spiderverse up. We'll have to put it on the top row, next to "Now Showing:"

Posters should get changed tonight, too. Beau and AYTG can get taken down, Mermaid and Spiderverse moved outside, and Past Lives and The Flash up in the lobby as coming soon.

I increased the mono level trim on the CP500 in Theater 1 all the way to 0dB (compared this setting on the 500 in Th4, the trim is set to 0dB on that processor as well) I think this was set a while ago to compensate for the EQ/alignment of the analog soundheads not being perfect, which has since been fixed so no need for the trim anymore. The Apple sounded nice and loud at 9.0 on the 750 and 8.5 on the 500, though it will be a big crowd so we might have to bump it a bit--judging by the volumes we've set for other mono prints I think this print is on the quieter side, as well.

Checked through the preshow, too, all good. I raised the volume cue for the part of the preshow where lights go down/volume goes up--thought it should have a bit more impact.

Ran loops for tonight.

Ordered some more rolls of paper tape.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Scheduled Spiderverse staff screenings.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Received Mommie Dearest DCP on a drive. Ingested it to Th2.

Ingested Black Samson to Th2 as well. This is for Shouting at the Screen in July but we're going to tech it soon.

Chenelle dropped off some discs for next weeks private events: Shrek and Back to the Future. Shrek is going through HandBrake now, the file (clearly labeled as the one for the DCP) can be put through DCP-O-Matic after. Back to the Future is a DVD and I know there's a blu-ray in the IT closet at Williamsburg, I'll rip that tomorrow and share the file on Google Drive for conversion at NPP. Also, I've said this before but I’m going to start backing up some of these DCPs we make for private events--this is already our second time DCP'ing Shrek. I have unlimited Google Drive space with my old .edu address so I can back this one up on there (and Back to Future as well, to be honest).

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: I replaced the battery for the the TMS rack APC, but I stored the old one away as a backup—it hadn’t reached the end of its life yet.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Checked over today's first thing, The Apple feature timing was missing and one showtime was slightly off--made those corrections before sheets were printed.

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

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
