NPP Projection Report 1/17 Admin


To do this evening/ was completed: New forecasts and preshow content downloaded and ingested. A1 1/24 PG playlists built. We are waiting on an SE trailer for the Denzel series that will play in the R-rated trailer packs, it's not available yet so I did not build any R-rated playlists, as you'd have to remove the incomplete trailer pack and add it a second time once the missing content is available. So those will get built soon.

Tech'd Nosferatu event content with Desmond. All set. Tested the lightboard settings, all good. Run of show doc updated.

Added cue sheet info for Clue and Thieves Like Us - Lillian

Ordering/Receiving (content): 
I see North by NorthWest is ingesting to the T1 server but I've got it ingesting to the LMS since we'll need it there anyway, and to build the playlist. - L

Received the folder of files for NoBudge 43 from Desmond. I have downloaded almost all of them to a folder on the desktop and have the first short, Nadir, transcoding to a NoBudge43 folder on the preshows/trailers drive. This'll take a couple hours due to computer activity. Keep your eyes on it, please! I reached out to Desmond about two of the shorts to see if they've got other files since the quality seems a little too low. Update: they're on it with sending new files! - Lillian 

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Tech'd the preshow and adjusted volume for the DCP of Wolf Man - it's pretty hot. the 7.1 track is great, but I brought the film down to 5.0 - plenty loud. Went through the prints Killer Klowns and Evil Dead 2 with Cristina, along with the DCP of Dark Angel, which looks great! The quality is better than expected. Info for the prints on their white cards. Dark Angel playlist has been updated. - Lillian 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Replaced the IMCB (Integrated Motor Control Board) for the ILS (Intelligent Lens System) controls in Theater 6. This worked and gave us ILS controls back. I reset all the channels I adjusted to keep the lens in the scope position when the ILS wasn't working, and checked all the other DCP channels since I moved the projector a bit today. -AL

Heard about an issue with the Trees projector. From the description we were given it sounded like the projector was turning itself off and had to be continually turned back on, but I don't think this was happening. I checked it today and it stayed on fine, however anything from Plex would play for 30-ish seconds then freeze with a popup briefly appearing saying our connection to the server is too slow to stream the file. This was likely the issue being described. I figured the connection wasn't actually too slow (I was playing a low quality file) and ultimately restarting the 4/6 iMac did the trick. Things are playing normally now. -AL

Changed the sconce on the lefthand side in T7. Looking nice and bright. Ran through the lighting cues.  - Lillian

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...
