RTFM - well that's what I did in my case
Failing that you could try emailing the manufacturer but I doubt you'll get a reply.

I think it's called marketing!
For this application you may well be better off with a hub instead of a switch. These work at wire speeds. If you need to, then you can also plug the 'up' port of the hub into the router.
Alternatively, buy a commercial switch (much more expensive) where the throughput is specified or wait around for a bit. I'm sure it won't be long before AV-enabled domestic switch/routers appear. They'll probably handle multicast packets efficiently too.
