The Tiffen Hot Mirror is a specialized optical filter designed to reflect infrared (IR) light back away from the sensor, preventing 'IR Pollution' which manifests as a magenta or reddish tint in dark areas of an image.
Ideal for professional cinematographers using high-density Neutral Density (ND) filters on cameras like the Blackmagic URSA or older RED sensors that lack robust internal IR cut filters.
Renting a Tiffen Hot Mirror is a cost-effective way to ensure color accuracy on high-end productions without the need for extensive color grading to fix contaminated blacks.
