    Antiquity TV Lift Cabinet

    One of ImportAdvantage’s newest TV lift cabinet designs, the Antiquity TV Lift Cabinet is an ornately crafted cabinet built with a wood console covered in hand-cut distressed leather and finished with hundreds of individual hand-hammered antique nail heads. The result is an accurate throwback to antique steamer trunks used by the wealthy to travel around the globe.

    The versatility of this finished-on-four-sides TV lift cabinet makes it perfectly suited for the foot of the bed, against a wall or standing alone in the middle of a room. The corners of this unique pop-up TV cabinet are precisely-stitched thick leather with horizontal oak slats complementing custom-made cast-metal antiqued hardware fittings.

    The Antiquity TV Lift Cabinet can house most TVs between 32” and 47” and weighing up to 80 pounds. The electronics tray holds two media players directly under the TV. The pre-installed rank and pinion TV lift will raise and lower your TV and devices in near silence with the touch of a button.

  4. How Remote Controls Work

    No one can deny the convenience of a television remote control these days. And now they seem to be able to do most anything – from changing channels to initiating recordings. But what is the technology behind these little devices that make them magically bring up the TV guide or raise and lower your flat screen television in your TV lift cabinet?

    Remote controls were first used in WWI by German naval vessels to direct them into Allied boats. Then in WWII, remote controls were used for detonating bombs. Now over sixty years later, remote controls have a much more peaceful use.

    For at-home use, most remote controls are powered by infrared (IR) technology. Infrared light is also referred to as “heat,” and remote controls rely on the use of light to carry its signal from the control to the device it directs. On the electromagnetic spectrum, infrared light falls on the invisible portion, between “visible” and “microwave.”

    The signal sent out by the remote control is in binary code; that’s how

  7. How Does Closed Captioning Work?

    Whether the acoustics in your room are not top-notch, or you suffer from a hearing-impairment, closed captioning is a helpful tool that aids in the enjoyment of movies and television. But do you know how it works? Does it come through your television, antenna, satellite dish or cable box? If you have a TV lift cabinet, do you have to do any additional wiring or keep your media players in view to keep your closed captioning abilities? Here are the answers.

    The ability for closed captioning is already embedded in the signal sent directly to your television, so every show, television movie and commercial comes with the possibility of closed captioning. In order for you to be able to read it, though, it has to be decoded, and that is done by your TV.

    Since 1993, every television manufactured that measures over 13 inches must have a built-in decoder, per the Television Decoder Circuitry Act. The information for closed captioning is hidden in the “line 21 data” of your television signal, which
