Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Compared the sound levels on the 35mm projectors in T4 again today, following some notes about uneven volume during the Fievel and Manitou screenings. Firstly, the optical subwoofer level (which applies to Dolby A and SR prints, which Manitou and Fievel were/are respectively), was cranked really high, which probably had something to do with loud parts sounding excessively loud (especially after I raised the output level for P2 in here). I also raised the output for P2 slightly more after adjusting the subwoofer level. I was using the Timecop trailer to test, then a reel of All About My Mother. The way I've left it, to me they sound even and both projectors sound good but I'm going to do some more testing tomorrow and possibly Friday to confirm. Some EQ adjustments may be needed.

Vacuumed under screens in Theaters 2 and 4. Adding this to the regular cleaning rotation.

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...
