Overview
Grafana Dashboard
Shows Grafana metrics: ad breaks detected (number and duration), video transfer rates, resource usage. Easily track if a live channel is getting an expected number of SCTE-35 insertion events.
Grafana Dashboard

ECS Cluster setup
alchemy-flow transforms live video streams by automatically detecting ad breaks and injecting SCTE-35 markers, ensuring compatibility with modern broadcasting workflows. This Docker-based software is optimized for cloud environments, running efficiently on AWS Graviton. It supports both RTP and SRT protocols, making it versatile for various video streaming setups.
Key features include advanced ad detection (targeting detection of over 80% of ad breaks), real-time metrics generation (Prometheus), and logs. The product is configurable via environment variables, supporting input/output settings, timing adjustments, and secure SRT stream handling.
Output is typically streamed into AWS Elemental MediaLive or other live video encoding. The output should be sent to the Primary Input of the encoder. A companion product, Delay-Flow, can be used as a low-cost option to send a stream (without SCTE-35 markers, but time-delayed to match the Primary Input) to the Secondary Input.
Perfect for broadcasters, OTT platforms, and content creators, alchemy-flow allows automated monetization of streams which don't contain SCTE-35 signaling.
Highlights
- Automatic Ad Detection: Detects over 80% of ad breaks and inserts SCTE-35 markers seamlessly.
- Cloud-Optimized: Lightweight Docker container designed for AWS Graviton, delivering cost-effective video processing.
- Real-Time Insights: Includes Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboard and logging for complete monitoring and analytics.

Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
