Kolari UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror

Description

The Cine UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror Pro Filter from Kolari Vision is a 4 x 5.65″ multicoated glass filter for compatible matte boxes. It is designed to normalize your camera when it has either a full spectrum or two-spectrum modification. In either case, it allows light to pass normally to the sensor so that you can shoot normal photos.

The filter can only be used with a modified camera. A spectrum-modified camera is one in which the camera’s native low-pass filter was removed in order to support certain IR filters for IR photography. If you have such a camera, this hot mirror filter will let you take normal photos without having to make any changes to the spectrum modification. The filter blocks IR light and some UV light, the same way the native low-pass filter that was removed from the camera during modification would have. The filter requires no exposure compensation.

The Kolari Pro Cinema infrared filters are made with polished optical glass. They are coated on both sides with a hydrophobic Anti-Reflective coating, making them water and smudge-resistant while also reducing stray reflections or unwanted infrared hotspots.

*A full spectrum modification to the camera is required for the Kolari Cine UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror filter.

That entails removing the camera’s low-pass filter and replacing it with a clear filter.
