here is a tcl command that returns the camera's name that is selected
via the SwitchCameras node ("topnode" is necessary to make sure it
traverses Dot nodes between the Camera and the Switch):
[value [topnode [input SwitchCameras [value SwitchCameras.which]]].name]
if you break it down from the inside out it does this:
"input node index" - this returns the input of a given node based on the
index
so if you feed SwitchCameras into the above you get:
input SwitchCameras index
use the SwitchNode's current setting as the index to determine which
input you want to follow:
input SwitchCameras [value SwitchCameras.which]
what you get now may be a dot node connected to the SwitchCameras node,
so use "topnode" to take it all the way up the branch:
topnode [input SwitchCameras [value SwitchCameras.which]]
this now returns the top most node connected to the SwitchCamera's
active pipe. We want it's name though, not the node object:
value [topnode [input SwitchCameras [value SwitchCameras.which]]].name
Use the above in square brackets inside the Write node and your camera
names will dictate the Write node's output name.

Wow, thanks for getting back to me that fast!
The solution seems great, but it might introduce user errors on my
side. Each shot has the following naming structure:
ABC_101_123_001
ABC_101_123_002
ABC_101_123_003
and so on
If I write 200 of those into the "writeName" knob, I can see myself
messing something up somewhere down the line.
I had to get started before posting and named my cameras accordingly.
Is there a way of channeling the camera name into the write node?
I know that one can get the name of a top most node to show up the
write node, though I didn't even manage that.
Cheers
