The Diva-Lite 400 and 200 are soft light sources ideally suited for Television or Film documentary shooting styles. The units provide a broad soft and diffuse light.
As a cosmetic light source they are ideal for news presenters reporting from locations around the world. Their compact size and rugged lightweight nature make them well suited for travel.

The Diva-Lite puts out a broad soft wash of light. The drop off is like the light off of
a bounce card. For this reason it is most effective in close proximity to the subject.
By being close the light is softer and easily controlled with the built-in barndoors and detachable louvers.

This instrument is proving to be very popular for interviews. It is small enough to travel easily. It is light enough to rig onto lighting stands or onto grip arms. An interview can be done with as little as a single Diva-Lite 400 and a bounce card.

Diva-Lites operate on Kino Flo True Match 55 watt compact fluorescent lamps.
Daylight balance (KF55) and tungsten balanced (choice of KF29 or KF32) lamps are available.

Light level control is established through an on board dimmer as well as by 2 and 4 lamp switching. An in-line power switch controls the power. Louvers provide control over the spread of the light.

Schneider introduces TRUE-CUT IR-750 filter

Because what you can't see can still degrade your digital footage,
Schneider Optics introduces the TRUE-CUT IR-750 filter, designed to
eliminate light in the infra-red (IR) spectrum before it reaches a high
definition camera's sensors.

IR Pollution Issue
Most high-definition cameras have a high sensitivity to light in the IR
spectrum, and though the IR light is not visible to the human eye, it can
result in odd color shifts and prevent a camera's imagers from capturing
true black tones. As digital cinematographers use multi-stop neutral-density
(ND) filters to allow them to open their lens iris for more depth of field, IR
light begins to dominate light from the visible spectrum, making its pollution
more apparent.

Blocking the IR Spectrum
Schneider, a world leader in precision optics for nearly a century, developed
its TRUE-CUT IR-750 filter to remove the IR spectrum from the light
path, resulting in more vibrant colors and true black tones from both
CCD and CMOS sensors. The TRUE-CUT IR filter blocks the IR light mere
nanometers from the visible spectrum, cutting IR pollution from the image.
Schneider Precision

The TRUE-CUT IR-750 filter maintains a high MTF (modulation transfer
function) in the visible spectrum and its coating meets or exceeds military
standards for durability; thus it is easily cleaned. Like all Schneider
professional filters, the TRUE-CUT IR-750 filter is manufactured from
crystal clear, water white optical glass that is diamond cut, precision
ground and polished to the most exacting tolerances.
