Thankyou all. No, I hadn´t thought of "counterhead", and figured it was a good solution, though I admit to not really knowing what it is in either language (it wasn´t possible to get clarification from the client).

other video equipment


Explanation:
Since it is not known whether the "Gegenkopf" is part of the same equipment or some other equipment, assuming that it is the latter, one could best describe it with the term as given above. In case it is the same equipment, then one could say "other or second video head (or sensor)". Hope this helps!
