Answer : IOS that support multicast

by the look of it 12.2SE will do the job.  Cisco don't list 'multicast' as a feature, all switches should do multicast as it is just broadcast traffic.  Its at the router level its more complicated.  However, I selected the IGMP and Multicast monitoring features and it gave me 12.2SE (see attached)
