Filter Types

Every uEye camera has a filter glass in the front flange to prevent the entry of dust particles. Color

cameras by default use an IR cut filter, which is required to ensure correct color rendering. The

default filter glass in monochrome cameras has no filter effect. Every camera model is available with

different filter variants such as daylight cut filters (type DL). The filter type is given at the end of the

uEye model name.

The following table shows an overview of the different optical filters used in the uEye cameras:

You can tell the filter type from the outside by its coloration:

· Reddish glass: HQ filter

· Bluish glass: BG filter

· Opaque glass: DL filter

· Plain glass: GL filter

New uEye color cameras use an IR cut filter of the type HQ by default. This filter offers an

improved accuracy of the infrared content. HQ filters achieve a higher image brightness

and better color rendering.

uEye drivers of version V3.24 and higher determine automatically which the IR filter is used

in a camera. The corresponding color correction is selected automatically.
