An optional second image upload field.

The public path
The public path, where the media was written.

The alternative public path

This entity maked use of a codeunit named com.tsnocode.core.cms.MediaEventHandler.
The codeunit is controlled via the System configuration that start with Cms.Media..
If the media is a video, then the video is re-encoded into the defined resolutions and bitrates. This takes a while and therefore the site will be loading for a little while. A thumbnail is also generated, and that path is saved in the field "Alt Path".
