Question / Help Using Sony FDR-AX33 as Webcam

So my roommate has a Sony FDR-AX33 webcam which cost a small fortune. Rather than buy a webcam, we're trying to set this camera up since it's, well, really flipping good.

It does have a fire wire to connect directly via USB, but OBS, nor any other program, recognizes it. I searched throughout the web, and things that offered help were behind an expensive paywall, or just didn't work. I also tried PlayMemories as suggested by the web manual, but unfortunately it hit the requirement of using Uplay.

How can i trick my computer into recognizing this camcorder as a webcam via the USB connection?

get premiere pro, you can open a stream window and then capture that window with OBS :)
