Hesam Seyed Mousavi, April 2019Apple ProRes Raw is one of the most popular video formats in professional video production and post-production. ProRes Raw is a new codec technology developed by Apple for high-quality, high-performance editing in Final Cut Pro X.The Apple ProRes codec family provides an unparalleled combination of real-time, multistream editing performance, and impressive image quality preservation. ProRes RAW is based on the same principles and underlying technology as existing Apple ProRes codecs, and is ideal for High Dynamic Range (HDR) content creation in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, and Compressor.Source: infoqHackintosh ProRes RAW Capable Guid This build guide is the culmination of the thread.NOTE 1: If you are using slightly different components, refer to the sectionNOTE 2: Thunderbolt 1 devices will not work when directly connected to this motherboard, but they should work through a Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt 3 dock with appropriate adapter cables. See for a list of compatible and incompatible Thunderbolt hardware.NOTE 3: If you’re a Final Cut Pro X or iMovie user, please see.NOTE 4: XFX Radeon RX 580 graphics cards are known to cause kernel panics during installation, and are strongly discouraged.

Use a different brand. In my case, the MSI RX 580 Gaming X works flawlessly. Also avoid the Samsung EVO 970 Plus (non-Plus models are okay).NOTE 5: Some x1 PCIe cards will not work properly in a x1 slot on this motherboard unless the Intel CNVi WiFi/BT card is disabled. This is done by copying the SSDT named SSDT-DESIGNARE-Z390-NO-CNVW.aml to the CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder on the EFI partition of your Mojave SSD. Instructions are provided in the spoiler labeled Final Steps in Post-Installation. Installation Procedure: Create USB Install DiskDownload MacOS 10.14.2 or newer from the App Store on a supported Mac and run UniBeast with a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 flash disk between 16GB and 32GB. I used a Samsung Bar Plus 32GB USB 3.0 drive that has an impressive 200MB/s read speed, which cuts installation time in half.

Use a good quality USB flash disk. It seems we all have some decrepit USB disks from yesteryear — don’t use them! Buy a new high quality USB 3.0 flash disk from a reputable manufacturer.NOTE: If you’re installing 10.14.4 please be aware that the 2 black USB 2.0 ports (HS09/HS10) will not be functional until after Post-Installation.

Plug your USB keyboard and mouse into one of the Blue, Red, or Yellow USB 3.x ports instead!An illustrated walk-through of UniBeast 9.1.0 is presented in the spoiler below. When UniBeast is done, you should see two USB disk icons on your Mac:. Install MacOS Mojave. EFIIf you don’t see both of these icons, stop and double-check your work. UniBeast creates these partitions on your USB drive; the EFI partition is especially important because the BIOS on your Designare motherboard will only recognize and boot from this partition.Now download and copy the following additional files to the Install MacOS Mojave partition on the USB disk:. MultiBeast 11.1.0 or newer.

Clover Configurator 5.4.2.0 or newer. EFI Mounter v3. Hackintool 2.2.1 or newer.

How To Fix Monitor Problems

Post-Install Files.zip (attached to the bottom of this guide)We’re not done yet. Do not eject the USB disk at this time. Instead, follow the section below to modify the config.plist.config.plist ModificationWe need to make a few changes to config.plist while we’re still on the Mac. Open the EFI partition in Finder and you’ll see an EFI root directory that has a subdirectory named CLOVER.

In the CLOVER directory is a file called config.plist. Right-click on this file (or CTRL-click) and choose the option to open with Clover Configurator.An illustrated walk through of the modifications is presented in the spoiler below. The modifications described in the spoiler are mandatory. We have now completed a fairly basic CLOVER configuration. We’re not concerned with getting everything working at this time. We just want enough of the system available to us so that Mojave can be installed.

The USB Port Limit patch, for example, makes all USB ports available — even if some of the logical ports do not physically exist. The Ethernet kext, as another example, provides compatibility with one of the two onboard Ethernet controllers. We are therefore setting up a fairly generic system at this stage. In Post-Installation we will make it a very specific system.Double-check your work, then eject the USB flash disk and prepare for installation. The first step is to modify BIOS settings.

Boot the Hackintosh and press DEL key to enter BIOS Setup. Then proceed with the modifications shown below.BIOS Modifications: Flash Gigabyte BIOS version F4 or Newer. Save & Exit. Load Optimized Defaults then make (or confirm) the following settings — important settings in bold:. M.I.T. Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) → Profile 1.

0x3e920003

BIOS. Windows 8/10 Features → Other OS. CSM Support → Disabled. Secure Boot will be disabled by default, but good to check. Peripherals. Initial Display Output → PCIe Slot 1.

Boot the system with USB install disk inserted, press F12 at BIOS screen to select Boot Drive, and choose the USB flash disk. Clover boot menu will appear. Choose the option to Boot macOS Install from Install macOS Mojave located on the disk marked EXTERNAL.After some activity you will be presented with the Mojave Installer GUI. From the list of options, choose Disk Utility to erase the target Mojave disk. Be absolutely certain to choose Show All Devices from the top left of Disk Utility. Then select the parent name of the target disk from the tree view on the left side. You will now see options to select Name, Format, and Scheme.

If you don’t see these 3 options, stop and double-check your steps. Name your disk Mojave. You can change it later. Format may be either: APFS or MacOS Extended (Journaled). If you select the latter option, it will be converted to APFS automatically.

Scheme must be: GUID Partition Map.When your target disk has been formatted, quit Disk Utilities and select Install macOS. This will begin Phase 1 installation. This stage is fairly quick, usually under 10 minutes. When it completes, the system will automatically reboot. Reboot should work. If you’re stuck with a 2-minutes left indication, reboot the machine manually. You will likely see a EXCCORPSENOTIFY exception, but as stated in Installation Overview, this is perfectly normal.After the reboot, press F12 at the BIOS screen and choose the same USB flash disk to boot from.Clover will appear again, but this time there will be a new volume called: Boot macOS Install from Mojave.

Choose this one if it’s not already selected.Now Phase 2 installation will begin. A progress bar will appear stating that the process will take 15 to 30 minutes depending on the speed of your USB disk. However, a few seconds later the system will suddenly reboot! You will see another EXCCORPSENOTIFY exception, and again this is perfectly normal.After the reboot, press F12 at the BIOS screen and choose the same USB flash disk to boot from. When Clover boot menu appears, once again choose Boot macOS Install from Mojave. This will continue the Phase 2 process.This stage will take 15 to 30 minutes. When complete, there will be a 5 to 10 second countdown to auto-reboot.

Let the system count down and reboot itself.After the reboot, press F12 at the BIOS screen and choose the same USB flash disk to boot from. When Clover boot menu appears, you will see a number of new disk volumes:. Boot macOS from Mojave. Recovery volume.

Prebooter volume. OthersNotice that the word “Install” is no longer present in these new names. Installation is already done, so now we choose Boot macOS from Mojave.

This is the actual Mojave OS disk.When the Welcome screen appears choose your region, your keyboard, etc. But do not sign in to iCloud at this time. Choose Setup Later instead. Signing into iCloud registers the serial number of the computer, but this serial number will change in Post-Installation, which will then result in two new systems being registered in iCloud. So skip iCloud sign-in until post-installation is done and you’ve rebooted after post-installation.Now that Mojave is up and running, we need to enable all of the goodies on this motherboard, such as hot-plug Thunderbolt 3, both of the gigabit Ethernet ports, on-board Realtek audio, Broadcom Bluetooth, etc.

And we also need to enable various Mojave features such as sleep, wake, Messages, FaceTime, etc. This is all accomplished in Post Installation, which begins right nowPost Installation:Note: In previous versions of the build guide there were two post-installation methods. The former “black box” method (METHOD 2) has been removed in order to focus on the detailed step-by-step method that provides a better understanding of the process and improves your ability to troubleshoot problems.You should have already downloaded Post-Install Files.zip onto the USB install disk. If you haven’t done so, you may download this zip file directly to your Mojave downloads folder (or any other suitable location).

Mojave should automatically decompress (unzip) the file.Step-by-step post-installation guides are provided in the four “spoilers” below that should now be opened and followed in sequence. Although we’ve installed the following kexts already, you may check the links below to see if newer versions are available, and if so, you may optionally download and install newer versions:.Install latest versions in /Library/Extensions using to install the kexts and Kext Utility to repair permissions and rebuild kernel caches. Put these kexts on your Desktop and run KextBeast; then you may delete the kexts from your desktop. (Note: KextBeast will install all kexts that happen to be on your Desktop so ensure that only these kexts are on the Desktop.)This concludes post-installation.Finishing UpReboot the machine now, log back into Mojave and sign in to iCloud.

Then run Messages and, if asked, sign in. Finally, run FaceTime and, if asked, sign in as well.Please re-review the “Installation Overview” steps at this time. And welcome to your new Mac! The MacRumors website has compiled an covering a broad spectrum of Mojave features. Your experience may not be complete without taking a look.Once everything has been set up and verified, you can delete EmuVariableUefi-64 as follows:.

Run Clover Configurator. Use the Mount EFI button on the left side of Clover Configurator, just under TOOLS. Mount the EFI partition of the internal Mojave disk.

Select Install Drivers on the left side of Clover Configurator and de-select EmuVariableUefi-64 as shown below. (EmuVariable was needed temporarily in order to activate Messages, FaceTime, Handoff, and Continuity. Once activated, EmuVariable is not needed and can interfere with Clover boot menu selections, so it should be removed. It can always be reinstalled using this same method.). Going the Extra MileInstallation and post-installation are complete, but the system can be fine-tuned further. The next few sections cover a broad set of topics that can significantly enhance the user experience.One of the first concerns is to decide upon a final System Definition (SMBIOS name and Platform ID). Users of audio/video apps such as Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Photoshop, and many other such applications should consider switching to a headless platform ID in which the discrete GPU drives the display monitor and the iGPU is either disabled or used for compute tasks.

The table below summarizes the various options available as of the release of macOS 10.14.4. For more information, refer to the section below. Home and OS Folders on Separate DrivesI have separated the MacOS/Applications disk from the Home Folders disk.

The former is on a 240GB NVMe and the latter is on a 1TB SATA SSD. The proper way to move your home folder is by going to System Preferences – Users & Groups, then unlock the padlock at the bottom left, right-click on your name under “Current User” and select “Advanced Options”. In the ensuing dialog, click the “Choose” button located next to the “Home directory” field and select the appropriate drive name.External Disks Not Ejected During SleepExternal hard drives are not always ejected prior to Sleep. This is a fairly common problem that afflicts regular Macs as well. At one point I left the computer idle for 90 minutes, and returned to a chorus of 30 “ disk not ejected” warnings upon wake.

Fortunately a little utility called solves this problem. There’s a 15-day trial period and the price is USD $4.95. Once installed, it will automatically eject all external disks. You can manually choose “eject and sleep” from Jettison’s own menu, but that is purely optional.Different FakeSMCFakeSMC and its companion kexts for ACPI Sensors, CPU Sensors, GPU Sensors, etc.

Are built together and work together as a unit. The individual kexts are typically not interchangeable between different builds.

The FakeSMC set of kexts provided through MultiBeast 11.0.x works with this motherboard, but it does not provide as much detailed information as a different full set of kexts developed by KGP and others for the X99 chipset and described in section E.14 of. The kexts used by KGP in his iMacPro X99 system seem to work quite well on the Designare Z390. You may choose to install either the FakeSMC set provided through MultiBeast or the X99 variant attached here as filename KGP-X99-FakeSMC.zip. If you choose this one, copy all files to the CLOVER/kexts/other directory and delete FakeSMC.kext and all of the FakeSMC sensor kexts from /Library/Extensions.

There should be only one FakeSMC. You can use Finder to delete FakeSMC kexts from /Library/Extensions, but you must then run Kext Utility to rebuild the kernel cache. If you are not comfortable with this, don’t do it and just use FakeSMC installed through MultiBeast.To TRIM or Not to TRIMAs shown in “Spoiler: System Status BEFORE Post-Installation”, TRIM is enabled by default on APFS NVMe drives, but not on SATA SSDs. Some people against using TRIM on SATA SSD boot drives. Others warn against TRIM on any third party SATA SSD.

I’ve enabled TRIM on my SATA SSD containing the home folder. If I encounter any problems I’ll report them here, but so far so good.Thunderbolt 3 ExperiencesA modern Mac is not a Mac without Thunderbolt 3! And the primary allure of the Designare is its built-in Titan Ridge TB3 controller. Because TB3 compatibility is a key feature for interested buyers, we’ll compile a list of successfully tested devices in this section. Using the UHD 630 to Drive HDMI and DP MonitorsOn January 5, 2019 a solution was found for activating the on-board HDMI port with accelerated video.

This solves the widespread “black screen” problem that occurs when the iGPU is properly configured (i.e. When the AppleIntelFramebuffer is attached). The Designare Z390 has three video ports:. Two Thunderbolt 3 ports that can each drive a DisplayPort monitor via USB-C to DisplayPort cable. This works out-of-the-box without any modification and can drive DisplayPort monitors at up to 4K60. A single HDMI v1.4 port capable of driving a monitor at up to 4K30.

To enable this port, we have to modify a handful of WhateverGreen framebuffer settings (Lilu and WhateverGreen are required). See the section above, Injecting Audio and Enabling On-Board HDMI for installation details.A has been posted.Specifying Device Names and TypesThis is for purely cosmetic purposes. The System Information – PCI page on real Macs contains a fairly comprehensive list of hardware components. The Thunderbolt and RX580 SSDTs provide this information for Titan Ridge Thunderbolt and AMD Radeon RX 580. The previous section (Injecting Audio and Enabling UHD 630 HDMI) provides this information for the Realtek ALC1220-VB audio controller and Intel UHD 630 iGPU.But if you would like to add two more entries that describe the Intel USB 3.1 USB controller and the Broadcom 94360CS2 WiFi/Bluetooth card, then simply copy and paste the Arbitrary section to your config.plist. It can appear as the first item under Devices as shown in the spoiler below.

Disabling a GPU in PCIe Slot 2If you have both macOS and Windows installed on this system, and are using an Nvidia graphics card in Slot 2 (the middle long x16 PCIe slot) that works only under Windows, then it is possible to make that card invisible to macOS.

Seems like you can find broken laptops everywhere these days — so why not do something with them? Damutsch shows us how to makeFirst, you’ll need to salvage a working LCD from a dead laptop. Once you have the panel out you can identify the serial key and order a controller board off eBay, which will allow you to plug a normal video input such as VGA or HDMI into the panel. We browsed around a bit and it looks like you can get driver boards from around $15-$30, so not too bad price-wise. It wasn’t so long ago that salvaged LCD panels were basically unusable because of a lack of these driver boards.Now that you have an LCD panel and a controller board you’ll have to mount it somehow.

Damutsch decided to use plexi-glass and we’re a fan of the result, kind of modern while still showing off the inside guts. You could also get fancy and.Posted in Tagged, Post navigation. This is true, but only to a point. Using DisplayPort to drive an eDP panel is simple.

Converting TO eDP (in order to use the panels with HDMI or DVI outputs) is extremely difficult – the options seem to be either high-end ASICs which carry high-end minimum orders, or custom solutions in FPGA, but even then the high speed of DisplayPort means you can’t use bottom-tier FPGAs and your end system cost is so high you may as well buy a new monitor. Even though you need circuitry to go from x-to-LVDS, it’s only mostly low-cost signal receivers and de- and re-serializers, not high-speed buffers and packet assemblers and such.As an aside, I’ve got some designs for iPad and Macbook LCD panel interfaces on my site (linked from my username), with schematics and Gerbers posted. Yes, most of the lines are direct pass-throughs.

I have a few old Dell Latitude XT that I want to do this too. I do have an LVDS converter so I can use it as a display, and that part works great, but I have no idea how to interface with the N-trig active digitizer. It looks like it could be USB, there is a, I think it is 8 pin connector, but looks like only 4 or 5 of them are connected, I really don’t have the know how to sniff the traffic though. These displays can be had rather cheaply on.Bay and the digitizers can be had even cheaper. Pretty decent 1280×800 12.1″ display to play with.

Wacom’s got two typical interfaces for Penabled LCD panels, a USB unit (simple to interface) and a RS-232 unit. Apparently the USB ones are mostly plug-and-play, but I’ve got an example of a RS-232 one and it’s not exactly as friendly as one would hope. There is an effort over here:, that has a working system for interfacing these units using a Teensy microcontroller, in the process emulating a USB Intuos4 (or other) tablet, which has the apparent side effect of enabling some extra functionality. Well I would consider htis a hack.And there are several reason i gave up on such a thing.A new monitor is cheaper, has guarantee, higher display resolution. Buttons and other osd features, where this hack is just a crap at the end.no good case, no good cables, no stability, no guarantee. Economical wise also not good.cheapest monitor is 30 euros what i have seen, and these boards also cost 30.

And you can not connect anything.He just put an exisiting case together with the inverter board, some bought cables and a bought hardware converter for the lvds signals, thats it. So when i use 5 screws its a hack, serious no.Cheapest monitor is 100 times better, you get a good stable case, cables, you can adjust it, it has an osd. And it has guarantee.i thought myself about it and i gave up because it is just not economical.
