What is a 12V trigger?

Besides outputs on advanced AV components, there are also may third party sensors available with 12V trigger outputs.  These can be used to send a high signal whenever an audio or video signal is present on an input, for instance.  The most common sensor used with our Universal Remote Interface is a current sensor on the power cord of the TV, which can detect when the TV is on by sensing its current draw.  This can be used to automatically raise the artwork whenever the TV is on and lower it when off.
