basique

The Project

Launched in June 2018 at Qu4tre Liège Média, basique is an open-source project dedicated to transforming content management for proximity media outlets. Designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, our goal is to enable small, community-focused broadcasters to take full control of their media workflows without the need for costly, complex solutions.

basique is proudly supported by a network of lean, community-oriented broadcasters from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation in Belgium, including Antenne Centre, Boukè, Canal Zoom, MaTélé, Télé MB, TéléSambre, TV Com, TV Lux, and Vedia. Their collaboration ensures that basique addresses the real challenges faced by proximity media outlets.

basique is built using cutting-edge yet accessible technologies that prioritize usability and performance:

Back-End: Powered by Python for robust and reliable operations.
Front-End: Developed with Laravel and VueJS for responsive and user-friendly interfaces.
Database: Built on MariaDB for secure and efficient data storage.
Media Analysis: Integrated with MediaInfo and FFmpeg for advanced asset processing.
Frame Seeking: Seamless precision with VideoFrame technology.
Text Editing: Intuitive WYSIWYG editor for easy content creation.

While basique currently operates in French, we are actively working toward a multi-lingual version, opening doors for proximity media outlets worldwide to benefit from this streamlined solution.
