Dolby E is an audio compression scheme that can encode / decode up to eight channels plus metadata: generally in 5.1 (six channels) and Rt / Lt (total right / total left surround sound) or two-channel stereo mixing, in two AES / EBU bit streams at 1.92 Mb / s (20 bit audio at 48 kHz).
Dolby E is a professional distribution coding system for transmission and postproduction that maintains the quality of up to 10 code / recoding cycles.
It is widely used in HD production to transport 5.1 sound.
