Reproduction of digital data using a fallback mechanism is disclosed. The digital data can be reproduced in a first mode and in an at least second mode, the operability of a selected mode is monitored and in a situation of failure, a switching between the mode in which a failure is detected to a mode which is operable can be made, so that least some functionality is ensured. An apparatus is disclosed, the apparatus being operable in a first mode where the digital data is accessed in a first format, and the apparatus being operable in an at least second mode where the digital data is accessed in at least a second format. Also a system, a method, a computer readable code and a data stream are disclosed.
Apparatus for reproducing digital data, the apparatus being operable in a first mode (C1) where the digital data is accessed in a first format (D1), and the apparatus being operable in an at least second mode (C2) where the digital data is accessed in at least a second format (D2), wherein the first mode or the at least second mode can be selected (62), characterized in that the apparatus is for detecting a failure of the selected mode (63), and for switching to an operable mode upon detection of a failure of the selected mode.
System for reproducing digital data, the system comprising a read section for reading digital data, an output section for outputting the digital data, a control section for controlling the read section and the output section, wherein the control section being operable to support a first mode (C1) where the digital data is in a first format (D1), and at least a second mode (C2) where the digital data is in an at least a second format (D2), characterized in that control section is arranged for monitoring (61) the operability of the digital data reproduction in a selected mode and for, if a failure is detected (63) in the selected mode, switching to an operable mode.
Method for reproducing digital data, where the digital data can be reproduced in a first mode (C1) where the digital data is in a first format (D1) and in an at least second mode (C2) wherein the digital data is in an at least a second format (D2), wherein the reproduction of the digital data is done with the digital data in a selected mode (62), characterize in that the method, comprises monitoring (61) the operability of the digital data reproduction in a selected mode and, if a failure is detected (63) in the selected modes, switching to an operable mode.
Computer readable code for reproducing digital data, where the digital data can be reproduced in a first mode (C1) where the digital data is in a first format (D1) and in an at least second mode (C1) wherein the digital data is in an at least a second format (D2), wherein the reproduction of the digital data is done with the digital data in a selected mode (62), characterized in that the code is arranged for monitoring (61) the operability of the digital data reproduction in a selected mode and for, if a failure is detected (63) in the selected modes, switching to an operable mode. cm 11.
