6. Enable the option to display Scrolling Text. 
7. Optionally, enable the Smooth Text option.
The Smooth Text option will animate the text from its current position to the positions received in the updates from the prompter. The time used for the animation is the Remote Heartbeat rate. Slower heart beats will result in less updates and the remote will appear to lag behind the prompter.
8. Set the Remote Heartbeat rate to a value such as 0.1 second. 
This is how often the remote will request an update from the prompter. This allows the remote to stay in sync with the prompter during playback. The smaller the number, the faster the updates, the more accurate the text is on the remote.
*Note: If the communication between the remote and the prompter is not able to keep up with the rate of the Remote Heartbeat, the updates will be backed up and could result in erratic behavior. If this is the case, increase the remote heartbeat rate.
