NPP Projection Report 6/28 Close

To do this evening/ was completed: Kept an eye on theaters 1, 2, and 6 for manual starts and/or server pauses throughout the evening; one manual start in T2 was scheduled on the cue sheets + T6 did not start its final round as scheduled and was delayed a couple minutes while I manually loaded the playlist

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Set up karaoke at Trees Lounge around 7PM and got everything started on schedule; Eliel pointed out to me that the HDMI audio connection was wired behind the bench beneath the screen so we used that this evening to eliminate the extra cabling to the XLR splitter and 1/8" cable

The mixer in T4 needed to be set up before the Alien from L.A. screening began; I tested the spotlights and noticed the one to the left hand side (when facing the audience) was not working and will need its batteries changed -- there was no time to do so before the pre-show started -- and let Cristina know to use the one to her right only

Alien from L.A. screening went very smoothly (as did Cristina's intro) and the picture and sound were top quality throughout; I re-inspected the print and placed each reel back onto its shipping reel

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...
