NPP Projection Report 6/29 Open


To do this evening/ was completed: There was no volume cue for the feature in the On the Town playlist, so it started at 4.0 (from the trailers). Far too quiet, especially considering its a mono soundtrack. I raised it to 7.0 and updated the playlist. DCPs with mono soundtracks need to be played at a higher volume, usually like 6.5 or 7.

Ashley told me this morning that the projector in Trees was having issues, Plex would come on for about a minute then cut out, come on again, cut out again, and on and on. This was right before Ripley so I ran that then came down to check on it, just left the projector off in the meantime. When I checked it I was able to get Apple TV/Plex to stay on by plugging the HDMI cable into the HDMI 1 input (instead of HDMI 2). Will check it out further on Tuesday.
-Update: they said a few hours later that it was cutting in and out again. I told them I would need to work on it behind the bar, by the TVs (as its either a cable or converter issue) so we should just leave it off for the weekend.

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...
