What framerate are they shooting at?
I'm not sure if it works in SD. Let me see if I can try for you.
As I wrote before, if you set the Debayer to anyting other than Full (in Media Creation R3D settings), the Red Rocket will not kick in.
So, if you want to use Red Rocket, just flip the Debayer setting to full and transcode to Avid media.
The Debayer setting doesn't HAVE to be 1/8th or 1/16th if you go to SD. But, again, if you use RedCine-X with the Rocket, it will work with all Debayer settings.
Using the Rocket supposedly yields slightly different debayering results than a software-only debayering. The Rocket transcodes would look a bit harder/sharper. If this is for offline, you needn't worry about it.
A while ago I tested the transcode speeds on a not-so-state-of-the-art CPU. http://community.avid.com/forums/t/85371.aspx
I'm not sure about local storage versus NAS, but I think the main issue is that Avid 'sort of' support Rocket, but has only tested it on systems with local storage. Pretty sure I've used it with Lanshare Fibre. Needed to mess around with the slots a bit, I think.
