First off, your decklink card needs to have dual-link HDSDI inputs in order to work in 4:4:4 HD. You’ll need to connect your camera to either an HD Cam SR deck or a D-5 deck with optional 4:4:4 boards installed (or some comparable tapeless sytem). And then you’ll need very fast drives that can sustain more than 200 MB/second throughput. Your HDCam deck will be gathering dust on this project.

Format all of your media drives as Mac OS extended. When it’s time to deliver your locked picture to the colorist, export an image sequence to a drive formatted as FAT32.
