Definition | The physical characteristics of a projected graphic material. |
| VIS | Use for projected graphics (e.g., filmstrips, slides, transparencies, and other projectable graphic materials) and accompanying sound characteristics. Use also for materials published separately or as components of a kit. |
| All formats | 007 is valid in all formats so you can code for the physical characteristics of the parts of an item such as accompanying material. |

Subfields | |
| ‡a Category of material | The category of material to which the item belongs is a projected graphic, which is defined as a two-dimensional representation intended to be projected without motion by means of an optical device (e.g., a filmstrip, slide, or transparency). |
| ‡b Specific material designation | A one-character alphabetic code that describes the special class of material (usually the class of physical object) to which an item belongs (e.g., a slide). A fill character (  ) is used when no attempt has been made to code this position. | c | Filmstrip cartridge. Film loops enclosed in cartridges. A cartridge is a permanently encased reel of film or tape with ends joined together to form a loop. | | d | Filmslip. A short filmstrip that is not in a roll. | | f | Filmstrip, type unspecified. Item is a filmstrip other than a filmstrip cartridge, filmslip or filmstrip roll or is an unspecified type of filmstrip. Formerly, Other type of filmstrip. | | o | Filmstrip roll. Usually 35 mm. roll. | | s | Slide. Use also for modern stereographs (e.g. Viewmaster reels). | | t | Transparency. Use also for x-rays. | | u | Unspecified. The specific material designation is not specified. | | z | Other. An item for which none of the other codes is appropriate. | |
| ‡d Color | The color characteristics of the item. | a | One color. The image is printed or executed in a single color (i.e., monochromatic), other than black. | | b | Black-and-white.

Code h takes precedence over any other code. | | m | Mixed. The work or collection is a combination of one color, black-and-white, colored, hand colored, and/or other images. | | n | Not applicable. The item has no images. | | u | Unknown. The color characteristics of the projected graphic is not known. | | z | Other. Tones, stains, tints, etc. | |
| ‡e Base of emulsion | The type of material for the base of the emulsion of the photonegative, filmstrip, slide, or transparency. | d | Glass. The primary support/base of the emulsion material is glass. | | e | Synthetic. Plastic, vinyl, etc. | | j | Safety film. The primary support/base of the emulsion material is safety (i.e., not nitrate) film. | | k | Film base, other than safety film. The primary support/base of the emulsion material is not safety film. | | m | Mixed collection. More than one primary support or base. | | o | Paper. The primary support/base of the emulsion is any kind of cellulose-based paper. | | u | Unknown. The primary support/base of the emulsion material for the projected graphic is not known. | | z | Other. An item for which none of the other codes is appropriate. | |
| ‡f Sound on medium or separate | Indicates whether the sound is on the same medium or a separate medium. Assume that the item has sound and that the sound is on the medium, unless otherwise noted. If the item is silent, do not use subfield ‡f. | a | Sound on medium. Sound is present and is on the item. | | b | Sound separate from medium. Sound is present but it is on the accompanying item. | | u | Unknown. The presence of sound on the item is not known. | |
| ‡g Medium for sound | The medium used to carry the sound. If the projected graphic is silent, do not use subfield ‡g. | a | Optical sound track on motion picture film. Sound to accompany a projected graphic is carried on an optical track that is part of a film. | | b | Magnetic sound track on motion picture film. Sound to accompany a projected graphic is carried on a magnetic track. | | c | Magnetic audio tape in cartridge. Sound to accompany an item is carried on a magnetic audio tape cartridge. | | d | Sound disc. Sound to accompany an item is carried on a sound disc. | | e | Magnetic audio tape on reel. Sound to accompany an item is carried on a reel of magnetic audio tape. | | f | Magnetic audio tape in cassette.

(5 x 5 cm.). The dimensions of the slide in its mounting are either 2 x 2 in. or 5 x 5 cm. | | k | 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. (6 x 6 cm). The dimensions of the slide in its mounting are either 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. or 6 x 6 cm. | Transparencies: Use the code that most closely approximates the dimensions in the physical description, including the size of the mount. | s | 4 x 5 in.

The dimensions of the transparency are close approximates to the dimensions the specific code represents. | | x | 10 x 10 in. (26 x 26 cm.). The dimensions of the transparency are close approximates to the dimensions the specific code represents. | | y | 7 x 7 in. (18 x 18 cm.). The dimensions of the transparency are close approximates to the dimensions the specific code represents. | Any projected graphic: | u | Unknown. The dimensions are not known. | | z | Other. Dimensions for which none of the other codes is appropriate. | Obsolete codes: Do not use. These obsolete codes still appear in records. | u | 7 x 7 in. Use redefined code y. | | y | Unspecified. Use redefined code u. | |
| ‡i Secondary support material | The type of material of the mount of a slide or transparency. If there is no secondary support, do not use subfield ‡i. Do not use subfield ‡i for filmstrips. | c | Cardboard. Slides and transparencies cataloged from data sheets are assumed to have cardboard mounts unless otherwise known. | | d | Glass. The glass mount usually covers the film base but should not be the primary support for the film emulsion. | | e | Synthetics. The secondary support material is synthetic (e.g., plastics, vinyl, etc.). | | h | Metal. Metal is usually used to frame larger projected graphics for better support. | | j | Metal and glass. The metal portion is usually a frame that holds one or two pieces of glass to support the film base. The glass should not be the primary support for the film emulsion. | | k | Synthetics and glass. The synthetic material, e.g., plastics, vinyl, etc., is usually used as a frame to hold one or two pieces of glass to support the film base. | | m | Mixed collection. The secondary support material varies for different items. | | u | Unknown. The secondary support material is not known. | | z | Other. A secondary support material for which no code is appropriate. | |
