Yes, it was the original Dolby system used for commercial recording.  I
believe Channel 2 bought eight stereo Dolby A en/decoders for the 2"
sixteen channel deck they used to record an opera while I worked there.
It was an old Ampex VideoTape deck gutted out and retrofitted with audio
head stacks and audio record/playback amps.  IIRC, Dolby A was
EXPENSIVE!
