How do i connect my Canon (Legria HF R606) to my computer via HDMI?

My camcorder's HDMI port is out and my computer too. How do i connect them and what can you do with the HDMI cable? Can you use it as an external monitor or what is it for?

You can't connect via HDMI. As you said, both of the HDMI ports are output only. The camera does have a USB 2.0 port.

Then why did the camera come with HDMI and a HDMI cable? Is a tv HDMI input?

Yes, a TV is an HDMI input port.
