Astra 1 is equipped with a built-in 1/1.8″ 8.42MP CMOS sensor and HDMI and 3G-SDI connectivity. It can capture resolutions up to UHD 4K at 60 fps, as well as store up to 255 positions with a claimed accuracy of 0.1°.
The Astra P1 is claimed to intelligently track subjects and optimize exposure in real-time. In low-light settings, auto exposure simplifies workflows.
There are two tracking modes available:
Presenter Tracking: The Astra P1 uses human-based logic to follow the presenter, analyzing posture and motion to distinguish them from the background. In crowded environments or complex setups, it maintains a precise lock on every move.
Zone Tracking: Define up to 4 key areas (podium, whiteboard, demo table, etc.). The Astra P1 then tracks between them as the target moves to provide a smooth transition in large spaces. Ideal for large auditoriums where a single operator needs reliable, automatic coverage.
An NDI | HX3 license is included with every Astra P1. Users can connect one Ethernet cable to stream near-lossless 4K video with ultra-low latency. The Astra P1 integrates into your NDI workflow, ready for vMix, OBS, or any professional broadcast studio.
For control, users can open a browser tab on their computer for full access to the control panel. Here you can pan, tilt, zoom, and manage every professional setting remotely.
A single PoEt cable delivers 4K video, audio, power, and control.
The Astra P1 supports simultaneous output via HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI, USB, and LAN. It delivers up to three independent HD streams and supports a full range of protocols, from standard VISCA/Pelco for control systems to USB UVC, IP-based streaming, and FreeD for AR/VR virtual production.
