Industry Disruptor S4 Capital’s Monks Showcases Latest Advancements in AI with NVIDIA, AWS and Verizon Business at NAB
LAS VEGAS, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Monks, the global, purely digital, data-driven, unitary operating brand of S4 Capital plc, today marks an important milestone in its ongoing journey to revolutionize the media & entertainment industry with the launch of its offerings based on NVIDIA Media2, an AI-powered initiative transforming content creation, streaming and live media experiences, at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) in Las Vegas. These innovations broaden the capabilities of Monks.Flow, Monks’ AI-powered professional managed service, to deliver smarter automation of live broadcasting through real-time AI and 5G-enabled camera switching.
Following the introduction and announcement of Media2 at CES, Monks Technology Services has announced a comprehensive suite of media & entertainment solutions aimed at driving innovation, monetization and efficiency in broadcast. Leveraging NVIDIA technologies—including NVIDIA NIM microservices, NVIDIA Blueprints, NVIDIA NeMo, and NVIDIA Holoscan for Media—Monks focuses on real-time audience feedback, AI-powered encoding and content analysis for large archives. Additionally, Monks will launch a new suite of vision language model (VLM) service offerings with their strategic partner, Twelve Labs.
NAB attendees can see firsthand how the company is bringing AI automation to live broadcasting workflows with a use-case inside Verizon Booth #W2530 at NAB. Monks teamed with Verizon to develop an AI use-case that harnesses the power of a video inference to drive intelligent, software-defined broadcasting workflows at the edge. Using video streams transmitted over 5G, this workflow helps broadcasters by suggesting the best shots in a multi-cam feed while communicating with downstream applications to optimize stream bandwidth.
Monks’ work in AI is backed by its award-winning professional managed service, Monks.Flow, which recently earned a top distinction at the Business Intelligence awards in the AI product category. Monks.Flow integrates AI workflows from leading tech companies to deliver bespoke solutions for customers. Monks recently announced an Agentic AI Advisory group and Monks Foundry, at NVIDIA GTC.
In addition to helping brands streamline operations, Monks.Flow, in combination with solutions from NVIDIA and AWS, has proven to help build sustainability gains by reducing carbon emissions inherent to traditional broadcast workflows, such as inefficient resource usage, energy-intensive processes and outdated infrastructure. In recognition of these efforts, Lewis Smithingham, EVP of Strategic Industries at Monks, will accept the Sustainability Leader in Media Technology Award presented by the Media Tech Sustainability Series.
Monks also announced today that it has achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Media & Entertainment Competency status for AWS Partners, recognizing Monks’ demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success automating workflows and accelerating customer journeys across the media & entertainment ecosystem.
Building on this momentum, Monks is excited to partner with Tagboard to host the Storyteller Series at the SiriusXM studio, an event that brings together industry leaders to share crucial insights on the future of broadcasting. Lewis Smithingham will lead engaging conversations throughout this two-day series, aimed at uncovering actionable knowledge and innovative strategies examining the evolving landscape of media.
