NPP Projection Admin 8/22 - Jack/Alec

Working on finishing the schedule for Sept., sorry it's late again! Will get it posted ASAP. -AL

To do this evening/ was completed: Tech'd the New Strains playlist, was missing a few cues so I filled those in. Noticed our T3 masking quick controls weren't responsive to the 1.33/1.37 cue so Alec updated that in the IMS. Mics set up, should be a smooth show.

Finished scheduling the week in the TMS and started working on the cue sheets.

Re-inspected Hard Target and packed it up for outgoing--reached out to Universal and DHL, also updated the manual about Universal prints with the right email addresses to reach out to.

We're Going to Eat You packaged up and scheduled for pickup tomorrow, both prints have been left by the side entrance.

Viva came with shipping labels stating Prospect Park was both the shipping and receiving address so I reached out to Cristina to get confirmation on the right address, waiting to hear back.

Tech'd Fearless with Cristina and logged volume--the print had been listed as Dolby SR but is actually a Dolby A soundtrack.

Rush Hour 2 DCP turned out to be the first Rush Hour. Both discs came with the Blu-Ray case. Alec ripped the right feature and we made a new DCP. 
-Please ingest this to Th7 tonight! It should finish encoding around 9pm.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: We got a second intro slide and a trailer for the Saturday Back to the Future show only. They're promoting the musical adaptation. I converted both to DCP and added them to the playlist for Sat. -AL

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Brought in the masking for the 1.37 preset in Th3 for tonight, New Strains is slightly narrower than 1.37. -AL

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Converting the Marie Antoinette blu-ray rip through HandBrake down in Th1. For a Th6 private event. -AL

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: I checked the motor on P1 in Th6. Looking really good after applying the sealant! -AL

Vlad did not end up coming today. Juan is checking with him to reschedule. -AL

Got that weird buzzing from the rear surround speakers again with the Multi-Ch Analog input selected in T6. This was right before Jack went to tech Fearless. I checked a few things really quickly and the buzzing stopped when i powered the CP500 on/off. Turning off the analog sound heads had no effect. I'm almost certain this is the SA10 ("Surround Adapter") since I didn’t see any levels on the CP500 but they were showing up on the 750. The lights for "Left Surround" and "Rear Surround" on the SA10 were lit up when the buzzing happened, too. I just disconnected the power to the SA10 after they teched the reel, we don't need to be using it. I'm going to test the audio in there again tomorrow, anyway, to see if the slightly strange-sounding dialogue Jack mentioned to me on Fearless was because of playing the Dolby A soundtrack with SR decoding on the CP500. But we should be in the clear with this now. -AL

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes

I filled in the timing for Rush Hour 2 tomorrow night, and both Back to the Future shows this weekend. -AL

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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
