InfraBlue Infrared Filter

Description

Note:

This filter is only for infrared modified cameras. With a normal, unmodified camera, the effects shown cannot be achieved.

The camera has to be converted with one of the following filters: 280 nm (Full Spectrum)

The InfraBlue filter is a multibandpass filter that greatly simplifies post-processing of the IR image. It delivers similar image results like the 630 nm filter, i.e. a blue sky and yellow foliage. However, the InfraBlue filter does not require any channel swapping: You can see the final image on the camera display. This is particularly useful if the camera is used for infrared filming.

Besides the simple possibility to create color IR images, the filter is also very good for monochrome IR images or Colorkey images. Due to the high saturation of the file, a channel mixer can be used for the black and white conversion, which offers a lot of control over the image result.

Advantages of the InfraBlue Plus filter:

• Slightly improved color rendering
• Hydrophobic surface coating for easier cleaning
• Slim filter ring reduces the risk of vignetting (a front thread is available on both versions)
