The notice states the deponent's name or descriptive designation, the date, time, and location, and the method of recording. For organizational depositions it must describe the matters for examination with reasonable particularity.
Reasonable written notice is required.

Deposition Notice, Notice to Take Deposition
Why it Matters?
Specifying the recording method in the notice is what preserves the right to video, since a party that noticed only stenographic recording cannot add video later without agreement. The topic description in an organizational notice is separately consequential, because testimony is limited to the noticed matters and vague descriptions invite both objection and inadequate preparation. Both details are frequently overlooked in routine notices.
