Morphology
The compound 'video equipment' is directly compositional: 'video' (moving-image media) + 'equipment' (objects required for a task) yields devices used for video. This is a standard noun–noun combination found across languages and follows transparent semantic composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Video equipment pairs video, meaning moving pictures and sound, with equipment, meaning the tools or machines people use. As cameras, screens and recorders became common, this short name came to mean 'the devices used to make or show video', which is why today it refers to electronic tools for recording, showing, or sending video.
