The ATP8500 Audio Video Preamp Processor is a truly unique product. More than just a preamplifier, the ATP8500 is a complete control center. The ATP8500 allows the casual user or the most experienced custom installer the ability to customize even the most complex installations. ATI has successfully combined the purest sonic capabilities with the most advanced set of features/functions in the industry. ATI is the first to incorporate a 5-inch color monitor on the front panel to facilitate initial setup and future programming. This onboard monitor previews most video sources including menus from DSS systems. The ATP8500 also features balanced outputs and an AES/EBU Digital Input for devices such as DAT players.
The ATP 8500 decodes Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic and DVD
audio. The 8500.1 adds Dolby EX, Dolby PL II, DTS ES, DTS NEO6. Naturally, the ATP 8500 can also function as a high-end stereo preamplifier, and the digital signal processing and conversion can be bypassed. The 7.1 channel input is provided with comprehensive volume control facitlities. This ensures that the ATP 8500 will remain compatible with new multi-channel formats to appear in the future. Music Surround Modes include: Natural; Jazz Club; Stadium and Party.
