To do this evening/ was completed: Officially heard back about the DCPII drive, they said it's toast, basically. I let the cinema team know. -AL Presentation Issues: Ultimately wasn't a presentation issue but it sure came close: Theater 6 went "offline" during the second round feature. The movie kept on playing so I waited until it finished to power cycle the projector and server. Thought that would be it and next round would be fine. However I got an error on the IMS webpage after starting back up, it said "Software/firmware mismatch, reinstall IMS3000 bundle." Rebooted the projector/server after that and was able to play content again. Started the third round preshow just a few minutes late. Wrote DMS with all the details about this. Mentioned the T1 dowser issue too. -AL Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Antonia's Line went well. Left the print tails out for reinspection tomorrow. -AL Ordering/Receiving (posters ...

To do this evening/ was completed: A busy morning here with techs and the usual cue sheet business. Everything should be set for Antonia's Line tonight.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: I built out most of the playlist for Carrie . I converted the songs into DCPs, ingested them, and loaded them into the playlist.  Trailer Updates: I added the Hitman trailer to the PG-13 trailer pack. It looks like it's making the end times 2 minutes shorter than what's on the cue sheets.  Special Events/ AV set up: Desmond came over to tech the Carrie show. We have the lighting cues programmed into the light board for the spots/wash. The songs weren't converted yet those still need to be teched for volume.  I set up the mics in Theater 4 and tested them for the Antonia's Line screening tonight.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): We received Transformers one sheets.  Ordering/Receiving (content): The Amazing Spider-Man 2 print came in and I bro...
