Usually not. Computers rarely have a HDMI in function, they mostly are outbound video only. You normally have to add a card or USB device to capture inbound video on a MAC or PC.

I'm not actually using it for video. im useing it for stop motion basically I'm going to be taking a buch of photos and making them in to a video in an edition software so i want to be able to view the photos on my macbook pro instead of on the camera

I think @Rickbb is referring to the video signal, not a full-motion video product. The image signal (and probably the associated audio signal) are probably one direction only - from the computer out to a device (like a monitor).

Correct, you need a monitor made for this not a computer or even a tablet.

ps. even a still digital image is a video signal.

HDMI in, no problem. Get one of these

Amazon - AMZHRLY 1080P Video Capture Card HDMI to USB Capture Video and Audio Recording via OBS Connect DSLR Camcorder for Game Live, Streaming, Video Conference (8 inch Cable)

When we moved and had to return our DVR to Verizon, I used it to capture everything we wanted to save before returning it.

To play, just open Quicktime, go to File, New Movie Recording.

There may be software available that will allow this. In the Nikon work, there is a program called Control my Camera that allows the computer to set exposure and control the shutter, via the standard Nikon USB cable. I don't recall it allowing Live View, but I was using it on a D40 which did not have a Live View mode.
