do i need a Capture Card?!

[Gaets]

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I have an issue at hand, so I have a Panasonic lumix fz300 camera, im trying to use this camera as a web cam, now I have a 1080 ti GeForce GTX, it has three ports HDMI, DP1.4 and HDCP2.2, I have my computer monitor hooked up to the HDMI port, I purchased converters from DP1.4 to HDMI also another converter from HDCP2.2 to HDMI I tested my monitor on these converters to make sure they worked and there was some type of input and output, they both worked with my monitor. I connected my camera HDMI cord that came with it to one of those converters, nothing is happening... do I need a Capture card to trick my computer to think that its a actual webcam?

Last time I checked graphics cards don't take input.
