In still photography and video, a matte box is a device used on the end of a lens to block the sun or other light source in order to prevent glare and lens flare. It performs essentially the same function as a lens hood  and also mounts in front of the lens, but usually includes adjustable fins called French flags.
Today, matte boxes are made for DV cameras  and HD cameras  for the same reasons as for film cameras.
