Pro Audio Asylum

Greetings all:

Ok, here's the situation. I've never created a 5.1 mix, but I've got a project that calls for it; basically, sound design for live theatre. I'm looking to *rent* a good 5.1 decoder that will take optical in, decode an AC-3 signal (from a DVD player, theoretically), and send it out via distinct line outs (L, R, C, RS, LS, LF). Anyone know where I can find something like this? Make? Model number? I've had a good deal of experience with live audio, but nothing in the realm of setting up a large-scale 5.1 system.

I've found a nice unit from the folks at DTS, but I can't create a DTS stream. This is a budget production (live theatre, eh?), and I'm using Bias Deck, A.Pack, and DVD SP3.

Thanks in advance!
