The Astra P1 PTZ camera combines a high-performance UHD 4K 60fps imaging system, 30x optical zoom, intelligent face-detection auto exposure (AE), and AI-powered auto-tracking. With NDI®|HX3 support and versatile professional I/O, the Astra P1 delivers a complete PTZ camera solution for churches, auditoriums, conference halls, live events, education, worship, and professional video production.
Live venues aren’t always well lit. Churches, auditoriums, halls, and event spaces can present challenging and constantly changing lighting conditions. The Astra P1’s large 1/1.8” image sensor captures more light per pixel, delivering detailed, low-noise UHD 4K video, even in demanding low-light environments.
Lighting can change, but your subject stays in focus and properly exposed. The Astra P1 intelligently detects and tracks the presenter while continuously optimising exposure in real time. Its intelligent auto exposure makes low-light and changing lighting conditions easier to manage, reducing the need for manual adjustments and helping your production team capture consistent, professional-quality video.
Move effortlessly from a wide establishing shot to a detailed close-up while maintaining exceptional image quality. The Astra P1 features a 30x optical zoom lens with an aperture of up to f/1.6, allowing it to capture impressive detail and light even at high zoom levels. Combined with 16x digital zoom and highly accurate 0.1° preset positioning, the camera delivers smooth, precise movement between long-shot and extreme close-up presets.
Presenter Tracking: The Astra P1 uses advanced human-based tracking logic to follow presenters automatically, analysing posture and movement to distinguish the subject from the background. Whether filming in a crowded environment or a complex stage setup, the AI tracking system maintains a reliable lock on the presenter for consistent, hands-free camera coverage.
Zone Tracking: Define up to four key tracking areas, such as a podium, whiteboard, demonstration table, or stage position. The Astra P1 automatically tracks between these zones as the presenter moves, providing smooth and reliable coverage across large spaces. This makes it ideal for churches, lecture halls, auditoriums, classrooms, and live events where a single operator needs dependable automated PTZ camera control.
Every Astra P1 includes an NDI®|HX3 license at no additional cost. Connect a single Ethernet cable to integrate the camera into your IP video workflow and transmit high-quality 4K video with ultra-low latency. The Astra P1 works seamlessly with professional NDI workflows and is ready for platforms and production systems including vMix, OBS, and professional broadcast studios.
Access the Astra P1’s complete camera control interface directly from a web browser. Remotely control pan, tilt, and zoom while managing professional image, exposure, tracking, and other camera settings from your computer. This makes setup and day-to-day operation simple, whether the camera is installed on a stage, mounted in an auditorium, or positioned in a permanent production environment.
The Astra P1 provides simultaneous output through HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI, USB, and LAN, giving production teams the flexibility to integrate the camera into a wide range of professional video systems. It supports up to three independent HD streams and a comprehensive selection of control and streaming protocols, including VISCA and Pelco for PTZ control, USB UVC, IP video streaming, and FreeD for AR/VR and virtual production workflows.
Independent main and sub-stream outputs allow the Astra P1 to handle high-quality recording and low-latency monitoring simultaneously. From churches and worship spaces to conference halls, education, live events, and professional broadcast environments, the Astra P1 is designed to deliver reliable 4K PTZ camera performance across a wide range of production workflows.
