- 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.

Questions about this gear
What does a Tiffen Hot Mirror do?
It blocks infrared light from reaching the camera sensor. This prevents the magenta color shift often seen in black fabrics and shadows when using heavy ND filters.
Is this the same as an IRND filter?
No. A Hot Mirror specifically targets IR light without reducing visible light, whereas an IRND combines infrared blocking with neutral density light reduction.
Does it fit my matte box?
The Tiffen Hot Mirror is available in standard cinema sizes like 4x4" and 4x5.65", making it compatible with most professional matte boxes from Bright Tangerine, Arri, and Tilta.
Will it make my image soft?
No, Tiffen uses Water White glass which is engineered to maintain extreme sharpness even at 4K, 6K, and 8K resolutions.
