Lowell Telecommunications Corporation

LTC's current facility resides on two floors in an historic textile mill complex. Packed into 6,000 square feet is a television studio, cable radio station, two computer labs, five post-production areas (for video editing, sound recording and editing, graphic creation, 3D animation, digital conversion), member meeting areas, equipment and technical banks, our cable distribution and programming systems, and administrative space for 8 full-time, 2 part-time, and 15-20 active volunteers and interns. Our members have access to 10 digital video cameras (Canon XL-1, Canon GL-1, and Panasonic EZ-30), 3 digital still cameras (Sony Mavica's & Sure Shots), field equipment (i.e., microphones, light kits) and 20 digital workstations (both PC and Mac platforms).

All of our workstations are part of our facility's local area network (LAN), have access to the Internet and can run a variety of software packages (basic office applications, web publishing, imaging, desktop publishing, and multimedia presentation). Almost 2/3 of our workstations have access to higher end applications such as video and audio editing, 3D animation, special effects, and complex graphic creation.

Our facility and equipment bank are available free of charge to our members on a first-come, first-served basis. We also have affordable rates for most of our resources if you are not a member or are looking to rent for personal or professional projects. If you would like further information regarding equipment and software availability, contact our Digital Media Technician at tech@ltc.org or call (978)458-5400.
