The application is the one your question is about: Bulk Rename Utility
And the "Case (4) field" is the field/box labelled "Case (4)",
again, take a look at that screenshot >>> http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Screenshots.php,     or at the Bulk Rename Utility application on your computer.

Additional it is always a good idea to read the manual coming with the application:
Using the Application
The Main Screen
Case drop-down - allows the capitalisation of file and/or folder names to be changed.
· Same - leaves the original capitalisation intact.
· Lower - converts all letters in the name(s) to lower-case.
· Upper - converts all letters in the name(s) into capitals.
· Title - converts all the words in the selected items to initial caps.
  A word is generally defined as a string of letters proceeded by a space or a bracket.
  So "joe public.txt" would become "Joe Public.txt" but "joe-public.txt" would become "Joe-public.txt".

"Case (4) field" > · Title - converts all the words in the selected items to initial caps.
