I rolled this out at my old school. Over 150. It worked well. The advancements that Apple made have made a difference. Aruba/Clearpass etc, MDNS -rock solid.
The only caveat is that, like most Apple Products, are intended for consumers. There isnt a great product (I know one exists) that really manages a deployment of Apple Tv’s that well. Updating them was a challenge. Aside from that, a flatscreen and ~$150 you are in business!

They had the devices wired where possible, and placed in specific subnets reachable from the clients but also with a predictable IP pattern which displayed on screen. They then documented "look for the address starting with 10.x. on the screen" for people wanting to connect. The clients could remember the device name once connected to allow easy reconnect. The presenter actually demoed it live on the conference guest wifi (did his presentation via it) and then allowed people in the room to try it out. It's definitely on my shortlist for trying in our environment.

Has anyone tested this so far? Seems to be very straight forward bu we are concerned about its performance within a segmented network environment. We are an Aruba shop, with Airgroup.
