We did test the process out, making the clips offline and deleting the original media, then doing a batch capture of those clips. Worked like a charm.
Thanks for your help and feedback, everyone. I figured this is a media management task Premiere could handle; just wanted to be sure the process before having to re-do a lot of work.

Our resolution to stuff like this is our media management setup. Every project gets a complete set of folders. . .
Then we make sure ALL assets for that project are in the appropriate folders. We add additional folders for footage connected to the project.
Then backup and restore consists of moving one folder.
Might not be the answer for everyone, but it works for us.

When we originally captured, the Blackmagic card was set up so we were capturing audio, along with the video, via SDI. We had some intermittent dropouts in audio with this path.
We have reconfigured the Blackmagic card to take video via SDI, but audio via analog from our mixer, which was our original desire anyway.
In the Avid universe, your master clip (metadata/tape ID/TC) in the bin and the media itself are two different entities. You can select an Avid master clip and take it offline. This deletes media, but keeps the master clip in the bin. If you want to re-capture, you simply select the master clips that are offline and re-capturee them.
So I am working on figuring out if there’s a Premiere similarity to the relationship between the “(master)clip” in the bin and the media it represents. Basically, will Premiere permit to to delete the media (but not the bin icon) and recapture using metadata stored with the clip in the bin?
That way I can have the exact same clips, but with audio taken through the analog path as opposed to the SDI path.

Just installed these systems, and have no information on the update process. As users, we do not have admin rights, in the event that is essential.

We got T7600’s that were configured in a similar fashion except for more internal media storage.
So far, they are very fast beasts. One oddity: I have an external hard disc dock that connects via USB2.0. If that is connected and powered up on a cold boot, it hangs the bootup. I simply shut it off before bootup.
It’s a cheap dock, so it may be something with the dock itself as opposed to the PC.

The card in our systems is an nVidia 5000K. Systems are Dell T7600’s, 32GB RAM.
Looks like I’ll fire up my (very old) copy of Lighwave 3D.

I’ll experiment. This isn’t a timeline, just a bin full of promo clips. I want to get the data to make a batch digitize on the new Adobe system nice and smooth.

I’ve used Diskmakers in the past, and was quite satisfied with their work.
Visit Diskmakers.com. I don’t work for them, and receive nothing for suggesting them.

Excellent. I figured it would be a simple process. Thank you very much!

I presume a projector will be used to fill the screen. If this is the case, you could simply do a standard definition 4:3 resolution for your edit.
What is the format/resolution of your footage/media?
