Projection Admin 5/13



To do this evening/ was completed: Realized my blog didn't post from last night, so I'll also be recapping here. 
Last night, we almost had a presentation issue - the server went down towards the end of the fourth round in T6 as waitstaff radioed me for cleaning lights during credits. I restarted the projector, which as per usual did the trick, and got the final round back up and running for preshow (8 minutes into preshow, not a huge loss). Emailed DMS. Went down the Google/film tech forum rabbit hole for potential answers. 
*DMS emailed us back today - they've ordered a replacement part as per their theory of a failing OS disk/disk corruption, a procedure of which we recently had done in T2, if you recall. This all makes sense.  For the dowser issues in T1, I pulled logs/systems report(s) and passed them on to Chris. The log from the christie I haven't pulled yet, which I've shown Will how to do. If there's any issue, we can send this to them tomorrow. 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Deleted the Mamma Mia playlist (along with other content we don't need) from this weekend. 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Star Trek DCP is transcoding in T1. Will need another day to finish. 

Wedding video for the private rental on 5/18 looks/sounds great in T3. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested new KMDs for Carrie and Civil War

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Pope of Greenwich fully inspected - print report available/pics up on the drive for Conrad. 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Noticed when running loops today that on P2, the light distribution was massively off, eclipsing the second half of the screen. Before adjusting the turret, I checked 1.85 to see if there was a change and the issue was still there, so I adjusted the turret and when that didn't help, I decided to peer inside the the lamp house and through to where the shutter is. The c/o mechanism hadn't fully opened the top bit of its shutter. Ran loops again after fixing and that did the trick. Amazing Spiderman 2 ready to go this eve. 

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes. 

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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...
