Future Automation TV Lifts, Motorized Mounts & AV Concealment

Regent5 designs and integrates Future Automation mechanisms across the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California, with project coverage extending through Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Orange County. Projects include custom homes, estates and private cinemas where televisions, projectors and AV technology disappear into cabinetry, ceilings, walls, floors or architectural finishes when not in use.

Motorized TV Lifts for Cabinetry & Architectural Joinery

Future Automation offers a broad lift range for concealing displays inside furniture and custom millwork. LSM mechanisms cover many 32- to 60-inch applications, while heavy-duty LSH models extend to approximately 65- to 105-inch displays. Swivel, telescopic, fixed-panel and concealed-lid configurations let the mechanism be selected around the screen and architecture rather than forcing the cabinetry around a generic lift.

Motorized Wall Mounts, Swivel & Over-Fireplace Motion

Motorized wall-mount families can advance, drop, lift, swivel or articulate a display for better sightlines while preserving a clean resting position. Products such as Electric Advance & Drop, two-way articulated mounts and motorized 90-degree hinges are useful when the ideal viewing position is different from the architect's preferred display location.

Ceiling TV Lifts, Inverted Lifts & Hinged Displays

When cabinetry is not appropriate, Future Automation can hide a television in or above the ceiling. Inverted lift models lower screens from a concealed ceiling pocket, while ceiling-hinge systems rotate a screen down into viewing position. Telescoping and swivel variants help solve rooms with limited ceiling depth or multiple seating directions.

Projector Lifts for Media Rooms & Private Cinema

PDR residential projector lifts conceal projection hardware inside a finished ceiling, while dedicated configurations are available for selected Sony and Barco projectors and for commercial, marine or outdoor applications. Regent5 coordinates throw geometry, lens position, structural support, ventilation, service access, power and control before the ceiling is closed.

Picture Lifts, Moving Panels & Hidden Screens

The PIC family conceals a wall-mounted display behind artwork that moves vertically at the touch of a button, with side and split-panel mechanisms available for other architectural concepts. These systems demand early coordination of wall depth, artwork size, display mounting, panel travel, finish tolerances and safe service access.

Smart-Home Control, Power & Safe Motion Sequencing

Many Future Automation mechanisms provide IR, contact-closure and RS232 control options, allowing them to be coordinated with professional control systems. Regent5 programs the sequence around the display, AV source, lighting, shades and other moving elements so the technology reveals and stows in a predictable order without trapping cables or conflicting with cabinetry.

Bespoke Mechanisms, Preconstruction Coordination & Service

Future Automation designs and manufactures mechanisms in house and offers bespoke engineering for projects that do not fit a standard product. Regent5 works with architects, interior designers, cabinetmakers and builders on dimensions, loads, electrical requirements, access panels and control before fabrication, then commissions and services the finished system.

Future Automation Mechanisms & Applications

The correct mechanism is chosen around screen size, weight, movement, cabinetry, structure, viewing angles, service access and the architectural finish that must remain when the technology is hidden.

LSM TV Lifts

Motorized hidden-TV lift family for many 32- to 60-inch displays, with box enclosure or flap options plus swivel and telescope variants.

LSH Heavy-Duty Lifts

Heavy-duty concealment for large displays up to approximately 105 inches, with swivel, telescopic, high-power and specialty configurations available.

PL Drop-and-Roll Lifts

Bespoke-sized cabinet lifts use a motorized drop-and-roll lid that disappears behind the raised screen for a particularly clean millwork finish.

Ceiling & Inverted TV Lifts

Inverted lifts, telescoping mechanisms and ceiling hinges hide displays overhead and lower or rotate them into the room only when needed.

Motorized Wall Mounts

Advance, drop, lift, swivel and articulated wall mounts reposition a display for viewing while maintaining an architecturally clean resting position.

PIC Artwork Concealment

Motorized artwork and panel systems reveal a wall-mounted display only when needed, with standard and bespoke travel configurations.

Projector Lifts & Hinges

Residential, commercial and specialty projector mechanisms conceal projection hardware while preserving lens alignment, ventilation and serviceability.

Floor, Table & Under-Bed Mechanisms

In-floor lifts, motorized floor mounts, tabletop rotators and under-bed lifts solve rooms where walls, ceilings and cabinetry cannot carry the display.

Outdoor & Marine-Suitable Options

Selected lift and projector mechanisms are specifically identified for marine or outdoor applications; environmental suitability must be verified model by model.

Bespoke Engineering & Integration

Custom mechanisms, CAD coordination, smart-home control, electrical planning, millwork integration and long-term service address one-off architectural requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you hide a TV inside custom cabinetry?

Yes. Future Automation makes motorized lift mechanisms specifically for concealing televisions inside cabinetry and architectural joinery. Regent5 coordinates the exact display dimensions, mechanism, lid or flap, ventilation, cable management, power and service access with the cabinetmaker.

How large a TV can a Future Automation lift handle?

It depends on the lift family and the actual screen dimensions and weight. Current LSM lifts cover many displays from roughly 32 to 60 inches, while the heavy-duty LSH range extends to approximately 65 to 105 inches. Larger or unusual displays may require a bespoke mechanism.

Can a hidden TV lift swivel toward different seating areas?

Yes. Selected lift families are available with motorized swivel versions. For example, LSM-S and LSH-S add rotational movement after the screen rises. The viewing angles, cable path, cabinet opening and collision clearances should all be planned before fabrication.

Can a TV be hidden in the ceiling and lowered when needed?

Yes. Future Automation offers inverted ceiling lifts and ceiling-hinge mechanisms that conceal a screen overhead and lower or rotate it into viewing position. Some variants also telescope or swivel to solve limited ceiling depth or multiple viewing angles.

Can a television be hidden behind artwork?

Yes. The PIC picture-lift family moves artwork vertically to reveal a wall-mounted screen, while side and split-panel mechanisms support other concealment layouts. The wall recess, artwork dimensions, screen mount and panel travel all need to be coordinated as one architectural detail.

Does Future Automation make projector lifts?

Yes. The current range includes residential and commercial ceiling projector lifts, specialty mechanisms for selected projector families, marine and outdoor configurations, wall-mounted projector hinges and general-purpose lift mechanisms. Regent5 coordinates lens geometry, structure, cooling, power and service access.

Can Future Automation mechanisms integrate with Crestron, Savant or Control4?

Yes. Many mechanisms provide control interfaces such as IR, contact closure and RS232, which can be incorporated into professional automation systems. Regent5 programs the motion sequence together with the display, AV system, lighting and shades so the mechanism behaves as part of the room.

Does a TV lift need to be planned before cabinetry is built?

Ideally, yes. The mechanism's enclosure, travel, lid movement, structural attachment, cable path, airflow and service clearance all affect the cabinet. Selecting the display and mechanism before shop drawings are finalized avoids costly rework and gives the cleanest finish.

Are Future Automation lifts suitable for outdoor or marine projects?

Selected products are specifically identified by Future Automation as marine-suitable or indoor/outdoor suitable, but this is model-specific. Regent5 verifies the exact mechanism, enclosure, display, drainage, environmental protection, power and finish requirements for exterior or coastal applications.

Can Future Automation build a custom mechanism for an unusual design?

Yes. Future Automation offers bespoke engineering for projects that do not fit its standard mechanisms. Regent5 can coordinate drawings, equipment dimensions, loads, travel, finish requirements, controls and service access with the manufacturer and the project's design team.

Can Regent5 service or take over an existing motorized TV lift?

Yes. We can inspect the mechanism, display mounting, control interface, power, cabling, cabinetry clearances and automation sequence, then determine whether the existing lift can be adjusted or repaired or whether replacement is more practical.

How much does a hidden TV lift or motorized mount installation cost?

Cost depends on the mechanism, display size, cabinetry or structural work, power, low-voltage wiring, control programming, finish details and whether a bespoke solution is required. Regent5 prices the complete installation after reviewing the room drawings and desired motion.
