What exactly are to trying to achieve ? This sounds like the most hair-brained idea I have ever heard.
But let us assune that your PC graphics card supports tv-out over hdmi. Then you need one of these.

Then a set of standard rca cables to the easy cap etc.etc.
Assuming then that you get that POS aka easycap to work on a mac............. -
If I understand you correctly, you want to capture or watch your PC screen on a Mac? If so return the EasyCap to the store where you bought it and save your money for a more suitable capture device. You really need something that can capture at least 720p 60fps video.

An EasyCap will not do a good job, even assuming you have one of the rare EasyCap products which comes with OSX drivers and compatible capture/viewer software. (OSX-compatible drivers and software are not available for all of the devices sold as an EasyCap.) Today's PC displays are usually high definition progressive 16:9 video devices. An EasyCap will only give you interlaced standard definition 4:3 video, which means text will be unreadable and much detail will be lost. -
If you just want to "see" what's on your PC from your Mac, like viewing the PC desktop in an open window, maybe a remote desktop connection is what you're after.
