Tiffen 4 x 5.65″ 1.2 Hot Mirror IRND Filter

The Tiffen 4x5.65" Hot Mirror IRND 1.2 Filter, offered by Lightbulb Rentals, combines a hot mirror infrared control filter with a 1.2 neutral density filter, tailored for HD cameras known for their heightened low-light sensitivity and susceptibility to infrared (IR) contamination. When conventional neutral density filters are used with HD sensors to manage light sensitivity, infrared pollution can become noticeable. This filter addresses this issue by integrating an ND filter with effective IR control, preventing infrared light from reaching the sensor while still providing the exposure benefits of a neutral density filter. The hot mirror filtration utilizes a dielectric mirror to combat both near and far infrared regions of the spectrum, ensuring comprehensive IR control. Constructed from Water White glass and employing ColorCore technology, where the filter substrate is laminated between two optical glass pieces and ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, this filter ensures optical clarity and durability. Ideal for professional cinematography, the Tiffen Hot Mirror IRND 1.2 Filter is designed to maintain color fidelity and image quality in HD filming environments, making it an essential tool for managing exposure while effectively controlling infrared contamination.
