Product Information

Full details

The Hollyland Astra P1 is a versatile 4K60 PTZ camera designed for professionals in live event production, broadcasting, and houses of worship who require high-fidelity imagery and reliable subject tracking. Its standout benefit is the advanced AI auto-tracking, which keeps presenters centered and properly exposed even during active movement across a stage. While it offers industry-leading connectivity like NDI HX3, users should note that setting up high-bandwidth NDI streams requires a stable, high-speed wired network infrastructure to avoid latency.

Troubleshooting

AI tracking is not following the subject.

Ensure the subject is within the clear line of sight and check the tracking sensitivity settings in the OSD menu.

NDI signal is choppy or lagging.

Verify your network uses a Gigabit switch and that no other heavy traffic is saturating the connection.

No video output via HDMI.

Check the output resolution settings in the menu to ensure they match the capabilities of your connected monitor or capture card.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the Astra P1, connect the camera to your network switch via the LAN port for NDI and IP control, or use HDMI/SDI for direct local monitor feeds. Ensure the camera is mounted on a stable platform or wall bracket capable of supporting its weight. Always use a high-quality Cat6 cable for NDI connections to ensure bandwidth stability. For maintenance, keep the lens clean using a professional microfiber lens cloth and avoid exposing the sensor to direct laser light or extremely bright, concentrated beams, as this can cause permanent damage to the CMOS sensor.
