The capture card (or in this case it’s a USB Stick) takes in video from a HDMI source and “pretends” to be a webcam. Since my camcorder can’t be connected as a video device to a PC (USB Connection puts it into “card reader” mode) I can now just use an HDMI cable to get video directly into my PC. Older DSLR don’t work the way yours does but they also can be made into a “webcam” with a HDMI capture card. Plus I can hook up a gaming console like the SNES mini and stream that over OBS.
