NPP Projection Report 5/16 Admin


To do this evening/ was completed: Replaced the OS disk in the Theater 6 IMS. since this was looking like it would arrive later in the day I asked Paul to sell out the first round as it had no tickets sold. The disks arrived just before 3pm but it was still a good thing we blocked that first screening. After replacing the disk, performing the update, and restoring the backup I still could not open the controls using the IP for Theater 6. Spent a while on the phone with Chris from DMS figuring this out. Apparently the backup that the IMS automatically restored from when I replaced the OS set it to the wrong IP. This was all an issue with this particular backup file on the IMS and not the OS disk I installed. Chris eventually was able to figure out what the IP had been changed to, access the webpage for the IMS, and restore a different backup file which reset it to the correct IP. we were back up and running before the second round.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Checked volume for this week's trailers and added cues to the packs.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Carrie should go well tonight. Checked the playlist and told Will where all the spotlight settings are stored on the board.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Packed up the extra Spider-Man reels for Sony to pick up with the proper print.

Print/video Inspection: IF and Back to Black features teched and playlists updated. Checked Ponyo as well!

Reinspected and packed up Flintstones.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Added credits for Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (keys for this open tomorrow but the offset was in the KDM email). Filled in Ponyo after checking the DCP.

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

Additional Notes: Nobody showed for either of the staff screenings today. Shocking I know! I shut them off shortly into the features.

As I was following along with Chris working on the IP settings, I think I figured out a way to be able to access the TMS/IMS controls on the iMac downstairs without having to use Splashtop… we’ll see if I’m successful.

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...
