Streaming Setup not working (Canon EOS 7D/El Gato Game Capture Card HD60S+/OBS Mac)

I am trying to connect my DSLR camera to my MacBook Pro (High Sierra) via OBS. My setup is as follows:

Camera - [Mini HDMI to HDMI cord] - Capture Card - [USB C to USB A] - Laptop

When using OBS, the game capture card is detected; however, the camera output is not detected. All I get is grey screen shown below. I searched all over the internet and I could not find anyone thread with a similar problem like mine. Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Additional info:
  1. The HDMI is plugged in properly in the INPUT port of the capture card
  2. When I plug in the camera into the capture card, the camera display goes black (I believe that is normal when using HDMI).
  3. To check the integrity of the cord and the camera HDMI mini port, I plugged the camera directly into a projector and I DO receive an output.
  4. I tried checking on different platform such as the El Gato Game Capture software and Photobooth, and again, the Capture Card was detected but no output
  5. I'm aware of Canon EOS webcam utility but that utilizes a virtual camera. I'm already using the virtual camera for something else.
