To do this evening/ was completed: Platters are working nicely in Theater 1 and 4. We need a new fuse for the motor for the Th4 platter, the one in there was completely blown. I swapped in the fuse for the light which is working for now but we'll need one that matches the amps/volts. I've ordered some. The platter in Th4 still starts and stops as the film pays out. It's not a terrible thing, it wont result in brain wrap, it's just because the brain isn't self calibrating, so the motor will only go at one speed, so it turns (slightly too fast), pays out too much film so the arm which activates the motor is pushed all the way forward (turning the motor off), and then once the projector has pulled more film through and pushed the arms back (to start the motor again), the deck turns, and on and on like that. Sadly the self calibrating brains from Th1 do not work on the Th4 platter since there is nothing to regulate the motor speed in the platter tree itself. I will try to calibrate the motor so it doesn't turn as fast, but this might be something we'll have to live with. It shouldn't damage the film. There are a few other quirks about this platter I don't love (it's older than the one in Theater 1 which works really well), but it will do to screen the film for a week. Sadly we can't just pick and choose parts from Williamsburg either, we would have to bring the whole thing save the decks over, which I don't think is a really practical idea at this point. Ran the film I had built up on both platters through the projector, it went fine.

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
