This IS the Avid L2: Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Using Resolve to add Lut to Camera Log C Render time of Red Rocket vs GTX-680?

It only works with Red files. If you're transcoding Amira files the Red Rocket won't help at all.

As I research this I realize the Rocket Card was to help out Red Camera footage, but does it help on other formats. Given the DIT wanted to use his system with a Red Rocket for the transcodes I assume the rocket card helps with the Arri Amira/ Alexa format. Or does it?

I'm using our Resolve 9 on a Mid 2012 12 Core MacPro with a Nividia GTX-680 Card. Source files are ProRes HQ 422 from Arri Amira Cameras. I'm getting render speed of 80 plus frames per second. Curious how this compares with a Red Rocket card. All the DITs are always pushing to do the transcoding on their systems with Red Rockets. I'm sure they don't do this for free but it's only going to take our system 5 hours to do the transcode to DNX 175 with a LUT. How much faster do the Red Rocket cards perform?
