Paul Szczepanek joins BlinkPipe’s expanding team

11 July 2013

Cambridge-based BlinkPipe, named last month by Business Weekly in The Killer 50 as one of a number of important Cambridge cluster companies to watch, has expanded its team with several new appointments in recent weeks. Most recently the company which provides high quality, big screen telepresence has appointed Paul Szczepanek as an Application Software Developer.

Prior to joining BlinkPipe, Paul has been a game developer at Climax Group, Stainless Games and Reality Pump.

Dave Gwilt, joint founder of BlinkPipe, said: “We were looking for a developer who could both develop new features for PhoneCamHD and make improvements based on customer feedback. Our team are all usability fanatics who believe that it’s not picture quality that’s holding video conferencing back, it’s the user-experience. Paul brings with him both a wealth of software experience and passion about doing the right thing for the user.”

With offices in central Cambridge, BlinkPipe has recently doubled the size of its office to meet its rapidly growing team.

Through its product PhoneCamHD, BlinkPipe provides radically new high quality, meeting room to meeting room video conferencing. It is very simple to use – you simply dial the conference phone as normal and you get a video call. PhoneCamHD is available at a low monthly subscription with no long-term contract. 

BlinkPipe is running a launch offer on PhoneCamHD for one month in two meeting rooms for less than £100. For details on this offer please click here.

Alex Nancekievill and Dave Gwilt set up BlinkPipe at the end of 2010.  Based on East Road in Cambridge, BlinkPipe’s first product PhoneCamHD provides high quality, big screen telepresence accessible to businesses of all sizes. 

PhoneCamHD is very easy to use, reliable and accessible and can be installed in minutes with video call ready straight away.

Key features include:

  • PhoneCamHD connects to a conference phone and operates automatically when you dial
  • Easy content collaboration: share content easily with WebEx or Vyew. PhoneCamHD handles all the setup so users simply need to join
  • 720p HD video on a big LCD TV captures superb detail while presenting participants life size
  • High specification optics: all glass multi-element zoom lens and face-tracking autofocus providing crisp, vibrant images
  • Firewall crossing: PhoneCamHD traverses firewalls automatically enabling users to call outside their company without IT support
  • Auto framing works out where the participants are and automatically adjusts tilt and zoom to present the best picture
