Can anyone give me a rough idea how many FPS 2K and 4K Red footage will Render to DNxHD-36 in Resolve without a Red Rocket Card.

My system is the current 3.06ghz 12 Core Mac Pro with 32gb Ram a GTX-120 (GUI) and a GTX-680 (GPU).

I may have to start a project for several days without a Red Rocket Card because the Production hasn't decided which cameras they want to use yet. I'm hoping that they decide soon enough that I can get rush shipping on one if needed and not feel the pain of slow Renders.

I have only worked with Alexa ProRes Dailies up till now so any rough estimate would really help me.

Thanks

Anyone, even a rough Render Speed would help.

What Red camera footage, and what's the exact resolution? Will you decode as full-res, half-res premium or half-res good?

Thanks for your reply Rohit, unfortunately the only info I have been given at this time is that it will be either the Epic or Scarlet Cameras with talk of maybe going to Alexa shooting DNxHD. I have not been filled in on anything else as far as dailies deliverables or wether they are going to shoot at 1920x1080, 2k, 3k or 4k.

I know that giving me any answer because of this is very difficult but info is rolling in much slower than I would like on this project. Principle shooting starts in 2 weeks and cameras still haven't been chosen.

A best and worst case scenario would great so I can let them know how bad things could get if they shoot Red and I can't get a Red Rocket Card for the first few days or first week. (I don't want to spend 5 grand on a card if they decide not to go Red.)

Thanks
