Cue proximity detectors were programmed to detect [[inboard]] foil cues, [[outboard]] foil cues, and crossframe foil cues. Several manufacturers produced foil cue readers, and many multiplex managers customized the technology to fit their specific needs. As foil cue position and function were never standardized for all theaters, they could not be applied in advance by the [[laboratory]], [[distributor]], or [[exchange]] manager. Foil cues were always applied by the projectionist with an eye towards the venue's specific needs, often during the print inspection and make-up process.
