1.3 The JSD-80 Overview
Ultra Stereo has combined its vast expe-
rience with conventional analog theater
sound systems with state of the art digital
signal processing technology. The result:
The JSD-80, which we believe to be the fi nest
surround decoder available today. Some of
the standard features include:
• Dual stereo projector inputs with low-
noise preamplifi ers, individual gain
and high-frequency boost controls,
and emergency backup circuitry.
• Stereo line-level inputs for Non-Sync
(with fade-in), plus an Auxiliary input.
• The Microphone input is for public
address use.
• 100 % digital “A” and “SR” type noise
reduction that emulates the analog
standards.
• Eight-channel discrete analog input
for interfacing to existing digital for-
mat 35mm fi lm decoders.
• 1/3 octave equalization on ALL chan-
nels except subwoofer.
• Advanced automation features includ-
ing level settings for each format.
• Built-in Personality Module contains a
backup copy of all settings which can
be used to restore the system.
The JSD-80 unit includes all of the above
features in every unit. All units come with
an international power supply and a backup
power supply.
• Optional eight-channel AES-EBU
digital inputs for interfacing to digital
sources.
• Optional AC3 decoder with two
S/PDIF inputs.
This manual contains information on the
