An IRND filter reduces the light reaching the sensor while suppressing infrared, which with stronger ND filters shows up as a colour cast. Density 1.2 equals 4 EV (ND16), so you can shoot wide open with a cinematic shutter even in half-shade or under cloud. The 4 × 5.65″ size fits standard matte boxes.

ND filters let infrared through, which a digital sensor records as a colour cast. IRND suppresses it, so grey stays neutral.
VAXIS VFX IRND 4 × 5.65″ filters come in densities from 0.3 to 2.1 (1 to 7 EV), so you can build a set for the light you shoot in.
With an ND filter you no longer have to stop down or shorten the shutter because of light. Density 1.2 cuts 4 EV and keeps shallow depth of field and natural motion blur.
