N/A
Proj Procedure Changes
======================
• CD player is poorly so we must use the media server. Benji will check that the media server can access Filmbank. The relevant macros for this will be added to Start Up. Still use CD fade down macros – these are poorly named. Use foobar2000 for playing music on media server.
• We are now using ReplayGain to automatically adjust volume of all songs to be equal on media server; this macro maybe should be raised again to 3.2 as it adjusts to a quiet volume.
• Jackie is 1.66:1, as is its trailer. It's worth switching to Euro Wide for the trailer to the avoid hideous unmasked keystone. This switch takes time – one extra second of black should suffice.
• The Euro Wide masking macro is currently named 'Masking Close' as masking preset slot has been reused; Richard says we should probably rename this.
• New power path diagram; add breakers to projector but otherwise projes present seem happy. Please train the new path from now on.
• Start_up_2017 has had changes; CONSTANT VIGILANCE for slides flashing/being cut off.
AOB
=====
• Difficulties ingesting from USB (bay dead again). Deleted KDM/ingest log and re-plugged HDD. We suspect this was a loose connection and the deleting was a co-incidence.
• Benji has taken two Sing posters. We are very happy to get rid of them.
• Suggestion of displaying relevant posters on tills. It is noted that it would be good for DMs to now have some work to do.
• Roll A2s says Richard.
• All DCPs and KDMs until Toni Erdmann are here – please ingest.
• We could play Bar Fusion's board games at next meeting.
• Please actually bring board games to Lakshmi's social.
• Richard has forgotten his actual AOB.
