Systems and methods for logically organizing data for storage and recovery on a data storage medium using a multi-level format are described. Embodiments include systems and methods for protecting data stored on a data storage medium so that the data may be recovered without errors.

According to the type of an image stored in an information recording medium and display function information of a display device, an displayable image is acquired from the recording medium and output to the display device. A data processing unit configured to reproduce data from an information recording medium inputs display function information for each of the HDR 1, HDR 2, and SDR images from a display device configured to display reproduction data, acquires HDR identification information indicating whether image data recorded in the information recording medium includes each of the HDR 1, HDR 2, and SDR images from a database file recorded in the information recording medium, and reads image data displayable on the display device from the information recording medium on the basis of results of comparison between the acquired display device function information and the HDR identification information, and outputs the same to the display device.
