Dolby DP572 E decoder audio multichannel distribution system blue face

This has some cosmetic paint wear on top panel and mild wear on front blue panel - but mostly gives a very good cosmetic appearance. Firmware shows version 2.1.0.14. Not fully tested to factory spec, only for proper power on, passing its self diagnostic test, basic button functionality, and reset to factory settings. It did come from working environment and is expected to fully work, as have previous units sold successfully from same source. 

The Dolby DP572 Dolby E Decoder was designed to ease the transition from two-channel to multichannel audio for DTV / HDTV broadcasters and program producers. It decodes up to eight channels of high-quality audio, plus Dolby Digital metadata, from a Dolby E signal encoded on a single AES3 pair, external fiber, satellite link, digital videotape, digital audiotape, or from a video server. It's easily integrated into your postproduction and broadcast facilities. The DP572 can accept both PCM and Dolby E signals, and it can switch automatically to provide seamless integration of multichannel and archived stereo programming. Multichannel programming typically uses a "5.1 + 2" Dolby E configuration, with six of the eight channels carrying a 5.1 program and the other two an Lt/Rt (matrix surround-encoded) or stereo two-channel program. Alternate channel configurations are available for multilingual or other specialized applications. A second input, PCM delay, has multiple functions - insertion of a voiceover into the decoded Dolby E program, insertion of local stereo audio, or automation of switching between stereo and multichannel programming within a transmission chain. Requires a standard video black reference signal. It can also be used in 24-frame applications when accompanied with the Dolby E Tri-Level Sync Interface DP579.
