Hollyland Astra P1 – 4K PTZ Camera with 30x Zoom

The Astra P1 is a 4K60 pan-tilt-zoom camera for live production, streaming, houses of worship, lecture halls and conference rooms. A 1/1.8-inch sensor, 30x optical zoom and AI auto tracking let one operator, or nobody at all, cover a stage from the back of the room. At Soundium it brings Hollyland into remote camera production.

Key Features

• UHD 4K60 output: Clean 2160p60 over HDMI 2.0, with 3G-SDI, USB and IP outputs running at the same time.
• 30x optical zoom: A 7.1–210 mm lens covers wide stage shots and tight close-ups from the same position.
• AI auto tracking: Follows a presenter automatically, or tracks defined zones such as a stage, podium or whiteboard.
• Face Detection AE: Keeps the subject correctly exposed as the lighting changes.
• Built-in NDI|HX3: Streams over a single network cable, with RTSP, RTMP(S) and SRT also supported.
• Single-cable PoE+: Video, control and power over one Ethernet cable, or DC 12 V when needed.

Customer Benefits

The Astra P1 fits both traditional and IP-based setups, so it slots into an existing SDI switcher or a modern NDI network without extra converters. Up to 255 presets make repeatable multi-camera shows quick to run, and the web browser control, IR remote and RS232/RS485 serial control give operators several ways in. With PoE+, a single cable to the ceiling or wall mount carries power, video and control, which keeps installations in churches, auditoriums and meeting rooms tidy.
