Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70022-50/topic/container-use-cases-for-video-encode-and-ai-pipelines.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70022-50/topic/container-use-cases-for-video-encode-and-ai-pipelines.html)

The Qualcomm IM SDK container is pre-installed with the Docker image for
        GStD.

## Prerequisites

1. Build a Qualcomm IM SDK Docker image.
2. Load and run the Docker image.
3. Run a Docker image for multimedia/AI use cases.

## Procedure

1. Start the GStD inside the Docker
                            shell:

        gstd-1.0 -a 0.0.0.0 -p 5001Copy to clipboard

    The
                            shell that's running the GStD is blocked.
2. Start a parallel container shell and run the following command to
                        communicate with the GStD. For gst-client commands, see Run local use cases.

        gst-client-1.0 -a 0.0.0.0 -p 5001Copy to clipboard
