Do you mean Avant 2014? I think it should be possible to use since it has support for Altona switches although not all configurations. However, may I ask how you wanted to use it?http://atlona.com/product/at-juno-451/ Wonder if anybody have any idea whether this may be compatible with bvs esp mki avant and can be controlled by single BeoRemote ? Thanks Vince
Hi Michael yes 2014 avant just thinking if I have 2 uhd sources Sky q and oppo 203? May be if atv has 4K in the future?ThanksVince
Hi Vince,The Avant 2014 has six HDMI ports. Port six (the top one) is 1080P max. But all the other ones are 4K enabled, although only HDMI 1 has HDCP 2.2 support. There are adapters to use that converts HDCP 2.2 to work on HDCP 1.4 enables sets. Effectively giving you the possibility to use modern 4K sources with the other ports. I can't vouche for it working with every source but the adapter is quite cheap (about 50 dollars per port). Maybe that can be a solution for you? It requires power but much less than the switch I believe.But, of course a nice thing with a switch is that you won't need several HDMI to the monitor itself.Hi Michael yes 2014 avant just thinking if I have 2 uhd sources Sky q and oppo 203?

It's unlikely anyone will know if this will be supported until it is actually released. Atlona have had this product shown as 'coming soon' for a while now...
The current solution for the scenario you describe is the use of a matrix, which has the advantage that it also splits the PUC control to each box too, but it's obviously not a cheap solution and could be described as somewhat overkill for a single beovision.
The neo matrix has been recommended by another beoworld member as working well with BeoVisions, although I've not tried it myself yet. It's pretty reasonably priced so might be a viable option too as it is probably not much more expensive than the atlona device above is likely to be sold for (although this is obviously guess work at the moment as nobody knows what the atlona switch will cost).

Thank you Michael yes I realise this but if you use the adapters you will be limited to capabilities to 1.4 rather than 2.0 i.e. 24 pfs in addition to other featuresI was also hoping for a uhd br player so that I can see 4K Netflix or Amazon prime as well?Just thoughts so that my mki can last longer.....ThanksVince
If you have (or will be receiving) the UDP-203 from Oppo, and you have a streaming device capable of 4k, you can plug the HDMI out from the Oppo into the Avant HDMI 2.0 (input #1) and the streaming device into the Oppo's HDMI Input to effectively have two sources capable of 4K into your Avant via the Oppo player. Alternatively, the Altona switch will work for you. Check with your B&O dealer for the appropriate model and installation/usage.

Hi Vince, no you get full FPS!Thank you Michael yes I realise this but if you use the adapters you will be limited to capabilities to 1.4 rather than 2.0 i.e. 24 pfs in addition to other features I was also hoping for a uhd br player so that I can see 4K Netflix or Amazon prime as well?

Michael, HDMI 1.4 is not capable of outputting 60 FPS. Vince is correct that using the HDMI ports other than number one (which is HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 capable) would be a 'downgrade'
