A complete listing of VIRIN codes is contained in OPNAVINST  5290.1  (series).  Some  of  the  more commonly used VIRIN codes are as follows: OTT–overhead   transparency SCN–still  photographic  negative,  color SPN–still photographic negative, black and white SPT–still  photographic  transparency VSP–video  still VTC–videotape   cassette Each  set  of  characters  in  the  markings  of  VI products is separated by a hyphen. An example of a VIRIN is as follows: the first product of FY 93 filed by the Fleet Imaging Command Pacific, San Diego; the subject is classified Secret and was shot by a photog- rapher using a still-video camera. The VIRIN is as follows: NO108-VSP-93-000001-SE Each authorized imaging facility is assigned a separate DVIAN code. Each original VI product that is marked and filed by your imaging facility must be recorded in the VIRIN log. The VIRIN-log entries must consist  of  the  VIRIN  assigned  to  each  original  product, the job-order number, format, subject matter, camera- person or artist's name, and final disposition of the product. Like the job-order log, the six-digit sequence number in the VIRIN log is reset to 000001 the first day of the new fiscal year. Still  Photography 14-11 Negatives are marked with the VIRIN on the base side, outside the usable image area with permanent ink Roll negatives are cut into strips and each strip is assigned a separate VIRIN. Individual frames on the strip are then identified by letters (A, B, C, D, and so on). Frames within the strip that are not intended for filing should not be assigned a letter; however, they must not be crossed out. Transparencies must be mounted in plastic or cardboard mounts with the VIRIN marked on the mount. For still, electronic floppy disks, mark the outside of them with the VIRIN, using permanent ink Prints Images that are stored locally must be protected. Standard, VI file cards are commonly used throughout the Navy to protect and file photographic images. These file  cards  may  be  color  coded  to  distinguish  classi- fication, subject matter, time frame, and so forth. Standard file cards are made of sturdy paper stock A print of the image, the VIRIN, and the classification are included on the face side of the file card, and the negative  and  caption  are  attached  to  the  back. Downgrading  instructions  must  be  included  for classified images. All negatives filed or handled must be protected  by  negative  preservers. Photographic prints are marked on the base side with the same VIRIN assigned to the original negative Photographic  negatives  and  prints  should  be carefully stored in a file cabinet so they are protected. or transparency. Prints must also include the date the original photograph was taken and the name and address of  the  originating  activity. Unclassified photographs that are cleared for public release  according  to  the  Department of the Navy Public Affairs  Policy  and  Regulations  Manual,  SECNAVINST 5720.44  (series),  must  be  stamped-“United  States  Navy Photography. Please credit USN PHOTO.” Classified prints must include the security classifi- cation, classification authority, appropriate down- grading  and  declassification  instructions,  and  be stamped  “United  States  Navy  Photography.” Photographic   prints   of   mishaps,   accidents (including property damage and personal injury), and other types of evidence that are not releasable under the Freedom of Information Act must be stamped “United States  Navy  Photography." Motion  Media Each motion-media roll of film, cassette, or disk must  be  identified  with  the  same  information  as still-imaging products. However, the data must be recorded at the beginning of the tape for a minimum of 5 seconds viewing time. The VIRIN should also appear on the outside of the cassette or reel, so the product can be identified without actually viewing it. When possible, the VIRIN should be included on the slate. When the VIRIN is included on the slate, all information is provided  in  the  same  frame. NOTE:  Remember  that  all  Navy  imaging  products forwarded to a visual information records center for pre-accessioning  must  be  accompanied  by  a  Visual Information Caption Sheet, DD Form 2537.
