You mentioned in the first reply that "Personally, I would not capture the video with a computer", but to run the "Desktop Video software from the BMD website", you have to use a computer ... no?
Sorry, that was ambiguous. I meant if all I needed to do was record video feeds, and not stream, I would use dedicated recording decks, and not bother with a capture device. In your case, you definitely need the computer.
I would also not try recording uncompressed video. You're looking at something like 10GB/minute for 1080p29.97, and a typical external hard drive is not fast enough for that. You could record in compressed h264 files with OBS instead, which you will also probably use to stream.
