Finalist for "Game-Changer Sustainable Product" at IBC, LiveVision ^™  equips broadcasters and M&E companies with scalable, real-time production and decisioning that reduces infrastructure, manual effort, and risk

AMSTERDAM , Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Monks, the global, purely digital, data-driven, unitary operating brand of S4 Capital plc, returns to the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC), a major annual trade show and conference for the media, entertainment, and technology industries, 12-15 September.

At IBC, Monks will debut LiveVision^™, an AI-powered edge solution that redefines how live video is produced, delivered, and monetized. Built in collaboration with NVIDIA, LiveVision^™ brings real-time intelligence directly into live broadcast workflows, whether running in the cloud, on-premises, or over 5G. Designed for the demands of sports and live events, LiveVision^™ uses AI to analyze multi-camera feeds in real time — suggesting the best shots, prioritizing key content, and dynamically optimizing bandwidth. Broadcasters get up to 50% faster live switching, while reducing manual intervention, infrastructure costs, and operational risk.

"IBC is where the broadcast community looks for what's next," explains Karan Chetal, Chief Growth Officer at Monks Technology Services. "At Monks Technology Services, we believe MEGS is more than a vertical — it's the arena where technology, creativity, and audience connection converge. With LiveVision^™, we're giving broadcasters the ability to move faster, work smarter, and unlock entirely new ways to engage fans and grow revenue."

For broadcasters and streaming platforms, the result is more than just efficiency:

• Creative agility – real-time AI decisions let teams focus on storytelling, not technical juggling.
• Smarter economics – software-defined, containerized infrastructure reduces cost per stream and scales with demand.
• Revenue unlocks – context-aware shot selection creates richer, brand-friendly moments, opening new sponsorship and monetization opportunities.
• Viewer-first experiences – higher-quality streams, faster switching, and smoother delivery across devices.

Powered by NVIDIA Rivermax, DeepStream, and Holoscan for Media technologies, LiveVision^™ helps broadcasters adapt faster, operate leaner, and innovate at the edge of live production. The system supports dynamic video streams, with Haivision StreamHub integration to reduce bit rate for non-consequential camera feeds — particularly beneficial for long, multi-camera events, such as racing. Attendees can experience Monks' LiveVision^™ inside the Dell booth at IBC (C35 in the AI Tech Zone in Hall 14), in addition to Monks' booth.

"LiveVision^™ embodies the promise of NVIDIA Media2, transforming live content into an intelligent, responsive asset," said Lewis Smithingham, Monks' EVP of Strategic Industries (Telco, Media, Entertainment, Games, and Sports). "By analyzing and acting on video feeds 'in-flight,' we empower broadcasters to scale smarter, reduce infrastructure and instantly capitalize on monetization opportunities that were previously out of reach."

A Leader Recognized for Sustainable Innovation & Collaborative Partnerships

Monks' LiveVision^™ is a finalist for the Game-Changer Sustainable Product award at the Corporate Star Awards. In addition, Monks is shortlisted for the IABM Awards in the Industry Partnership category. Winners are set to be announced on 12 & 13 September, respectively, during IBC.

"True innovation creates impact. Being named a finalist for these awards affirms that our solutions deliver measurable sustainability, bold design, and tangible results—values that guide every product we create. I'm proud of Monks Technology Services for helping shape a future where technology, collaboration, and sustainability move forward hand in hand," said Nikki Gifford, Chief Operating Officer for Monks Technology Services.

Connect with Monks on the Stage and Show Floor

Attendees can find Monks located near IBC's main entrance at the RAI Convention Center, in booth C51 in the AI Tech Zone (Hall 14). Here, in addition to LiveVision^™, attendees can experience a demo of Monks' Time Addressable Media Storage (TAMS) solution, which delivers instant, frame-accurate access to massive media libraries with time-based indexing and fast timecode and metadata search, enabling instant clip extraction and publishing, deployable on hardware or cloud.

Outside its booth, Monks will partake in two project showcases during the IBC Accelerators Program related to tailoring personalized sports highlight reels to individual viewer preferences, and AI agent orchestration for enhanced live production workflows.

Monks will also be well-represented on stage at IBC. Smithingham and Monks' Creative Technologist Oana Camelia Burca and SVP of Platforms for EMEA Joeri Lambert are scheduled for six speaking engagements and a live podcast recording. They will cover topics ranging from AI and immersive tech to cloud-native workflows at venues like the AWS Innovation Stage, the AI Tech Zone Stage, and Google Cloud Hackfest.

The Company now has approximately 7,000 people in 33 countries with approximately 80% of net revenue across the Americas, 15% across Europe, the Middle East and Africa and 5% across Asia-Pacific. The longer-term objective is a geographic split of 60%:20%:20%. At the Group's last full year results, Content accounted for approximately 60% of net revenue, Data&Digital Media 24% and Technology Services 16%. The long-term objective for the practices is a split of 50%:25%:25%.

Sir Martin was CEO of WPP for 33 years, building it from a £1 million 'shell' company in 1985 into the world's largest advertising and marketing services company, with a market capitalisation of over £16 billion on the day he left. Prior to that Sir Martin was Group Financial Director of Saatchi & Saatchi Company Plc for nine years.
