See Common Operator Attributes.

alias

A short name for the path and file name of another CTF file. The alias must be defined in a Ref element in the SynColor configuration file. By default, the following aliases are available, and can be changed from the user interface of some applications that support Autodesk Color Management:

• The "graphicsMonitor" alias should refer to the appropriate transform for display on the workstation monitor.
• The "broadcastMonitor" alias should refer to the appropriate transform for display on the broadcast monitor.
• The "currentMonitor" alias gets resolved to either the value of the "graphicsMonitor" alias or the value of the "broadcastMonitor" alias depending on where an image is displayed.
• The "defaultLook" alias should refer to the transform that re-creates the look used on set.

You can create additional aliases as desired.

path

The path and file name of another CTF file. The path is relative to basePath if that attribute is defined; otherwise, the path is absolute.

basePath

The base location for a relative path.
