The Adrenaline only impacts your I/O. All processing, playback, effects, etc. is handled by the software. So yes, even with an SD Adrenaline, you can work in HD. You can only see an SD downconvert on your external monitor, unless you have the HD board in the Adrenaline.
If you want to work in HD, but only pay for the SD room, just rent the HD room long enough to capture your footage, then switch to an SD room to do all your work and final output. This gives you HD quality right up until you send out your SD master. And if you wanted to, you could then go back to the HD Adrenaline and output an HD master also.
