Schneider 4 x 5.65″ True-Cut 750 IR

The Schneider 4 x 5.65" True-Cut 750 IR Filter, available from Lightbulb Rentals, is an essential tool designed specifically for digital cinematography to control infrared (IR) light. When shooting with CCD or CMOS cameras, especially when using multi-stop neutral-density filters to adjust exposure, IR light can become problematic, causing unwanted color shifts, particularly in darker areas of the frame.

This filter blocks 50% of infrared light waves at 750 nanometers, progressively reducing IR transmission thereafter. By limiting the amount of infrared reaching the camera sensor, it helps maintain accurate color reproduction across the entire frame, preventing or minimizing IR-related color shifts. Cameras with more sensitive sensors may benefit from the True-Cut 680 IR Filter, which begins blocking at 680 nanometers for enhanced IR control.

Compatible with filter holders designed for 4mm-thick, 4 x 5.65" rectangular filters, this True-Cut 750 IR Filter integrates seamlessly into professional setups. It supports the use of multi-stop neutral-density filters without requiring exposure adjustments during operation, ensuring consistent performance.

Crafted from water white glass for optimal optical clarity, and accompanied by a padded pouch for safe storage and transport, this filter is an indispensable choice for cinematographers seeking precise IR control in digital filmmaking environments.
