The video at that link uses normal wifi... It's just AirPlay to an AppleTV. We gave an iPad to most faculty this year and installed AirServer on our classroom computers to support it. It's a lot of rf air time, but at least it's using your infrastructure rather than competing with it, and it all seems to work well enough.
What I might worry about is on systems that route all traffic back to a central controller-- not just manage the access points but actually run the traffic through the controller. These systems tend to operate under the assumption that most traffic is headed out to the web, or a file server, or a database, or some other resource housed in your sever racks, and so there's not much penalty routing all local traffic back to your network core... it was probably headed there anyway. I'm not sure how well this holds up for mirroring applications like AirPlay, where suddenly you have a lot of traffic going client to client again. It has the potential to needlessly stress your inter-building links. We don't have that type of system here, but if we did I would want to check out what Airplay was doing to on those links.
