What's the difference between the two other than that one's designed for BBC World and the other for N24?

Well one has the web address using bbcworld.com. They also priced something in US dollars - I'm not sure if the UK edit would have this priced in pounds. They also didn't end with webscape as they normally do - but then this could have been just a one off.

BBC World definitely get Webscape, as I watch it on that channel every week.

BBC World always uses US dollars when mentioning a price/cost rather than GBP.

Just one at a time.

I also have a question about the cameras. Are the floor cameras operated by camera men all the time? Or is each camera placed in a fixed position so the gallery can just switch between them to get different angles?

The latter.

If one wishes to be smart they use split-screens, projector insets etc so it can be more than one.

In the studio there are at least six floor cameras plus the tractor-cam which are all normally controlled remotely from the gallery.

There are 8 cameras in the News 24 set all remotely controlled by the director in the gallery...

CAM 1 - Big Board: mainly used for over the shoulder linking shots from the sports presenter to the main set. Plus, when there is a guest at the big board, the floor manger moves it's position so it can be framed up on a single of the guest.

Cameras 2 to 6 are on the Main Set comprising:
CAM 4 - main presenter two shot. Presenter singles on CAM 3 (left) and CAM 5 (right). When a presenter is interviewing a guest in the studio, these camera are re-framed to offer the two shot. Guest singles on CAM 2 (left) and CAM 6 (right).

Additionally, depending on what's happening, cameras 2, 3, 5, and 6 are often re-framed to include the respective presenter's projection screen.

CAM 2 is also the main big board camera, so is 'swung' round when required.

CAM 7 is at the Summary Pod.

CAM 8 offers the tracking shots.

The directors have a touch screen panel in the gallery where any number of pre-stored shots can be recalled.
